Collaboration software, including the latest generation of enterprise social software, is often put forward as a more effective alternative to email-based communication.

A DB2 for z/OS DBA recently asked me about the pros and cons of hash-organized tables -- a physical database design option that is introduced with DB2 10 for z/OS running in new-function mode (NFM). Assuming that others in the mainframe DB2 community are also pondering this issue, I've decided to provide what I hope will be some useful information in this blog entry.

Background I have walked simultaneously in the worlds of Windows and Unix/Linux/Apple OS X for years. In *nix, I prefer BASH (GNU Bourne-Again SHell) for administration. However, until PowerShell, Windows had nothing that could really compare to Bash. Microsoft had shells: first the COMMAND.COM in MS-DOS/Windows 9x and cmd.exe in Windows NT, then Windows Script Host introduced with Windows 98.

The world needs more open platforms. The term is loaded, but it’s worth unpacking. To me, an open platform is a consistent opportunity space where anyone – without prior permission – can attempt to create value, and the market gets to vote on that attempt.
