Once upon a time, print was a vibrant medium, a platform where entrepreneurial voices created new forms of value, over and over again. I’ll admit it was my native platform, at least for a while – Wired and The Industry Standard were print-driven companies, though they both innovated online, and the same could be said for Make , which I helped early in its life.

I have been a big fan of DB2 for z/OS native SQL procedures ever since the functionality was introduced with DB2 9 , back in 1997. I have posted quite a few blog entries on the topic, the first in 1998 (written while I was working as an independent consultant) and the most recent just last month. In these blog entries, and in presentations I've delivered over the past several years (and in discussions generally), I've focused largely on performance aspects of native SQL procedures versus externa

Often, there is a bit of a time lag between the introduction of a DB2 for z/OS feature and the widespread adoption of the new technology. Take universal table spaces, for example. These were introduced with DB2 9 for z/OS (almost 7 years ago), but some organizations are only now beginning to convert non-universal table spaces to the universal variety.
