By now, a lot of you probably know that a really important action to take, once your DB2 subsystem is at the Version 10 (conversion mode) level, is to rebind your plans and packages. Taking this action delivers several benefits: It tends to improve the CPU efficiency of package execution. Obviously, you could see performance gains related to positive access path changes, as the optimizer gets smarter with each new release of DB2; however, even if access paths associated with a package don't chan

From the very beginning, you've been able to add a column to an existing DB2 for z/OS table by way of the SQL statement ALTER TABLE with the ADD COLUMN option. In fact, relative ease of logical database design modification had a lot to do with DB2 becoming a very widely used DBMS. Of course, there are times when what you want to do is remove a column from an existing table.

Listen to Your Customers. shobana.lv@cgi.com. Thu, 01/09/2014 - 06:38. Why "Social Listening"? A few years ago, when the chief executive of a medium-sized consumer business mentioned to me in exasperation, “There are 130,000 fans for our brand in a Facebook group that we didn’t create. What do I do about them?” it provided a compelling justification for this question, "Why do Social Listening?".

Today comes the news that Google is buying Nest , a move that, upon reflection, should have been obvious (the price tag of more than $3 billion, not so obvious!). If the company is truly executing its mission of helping us organize the world’s information and make it available, it makes sense to have a major play in the Internet of Things, in particular, those things that consumers view as extremely valuable.
