Quick Beginnings for DB2 Universal Database for UNIX
DB2 is a relational database management system that is
web-enabled with Java support; scalable from single processors to clusters of
symmetric multiprocessors; and multimedia capable with image, audio, video,
and text support.
Your CD-ROM includes: DB2 Enterprise Edition, DB2
Workgroup Edition, DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition, and
DB2 Client Application Enabler.
- DB2 Universal Database Workgroup Edition
- A relational database management system that enables local and remote client applications to create, update, control, and manage relational databases using
Structured Query Language (SQL), ODBC, JDBC, or CLI.
This product is available for OS/2, Windows NT, and SCO UnixWare 7
only.
- DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition
- A relational database management system that enables local and remote
clients and applications to create, update, control, and manage relational
databases using Structured Query Language (SQL), ODBC, or CLI. Also
included in DB2 Universal Database Enterprise Edition is the DB2 Connect
support feature. This provides users with access to DB2 databases that
reside on host systems such as MVS/ESA, OS/390, AS/400, VM, and VSE.
The DB2 Net.Data CD-ROM contains all supported DB2
Net.Data (formerly known as DB2 World Wide Web Connection)
products. DB2 Net.Data enables application developers to create
Internet applications that access data from DB2 databases.
- DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition
- Provides access from clients on a network to DB2 databases residing on host systems such as AS/400, MVS/ESA,
OS/390, VM, and VSE. DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition is available for
the AIX, HP-UX, OS/2, Solaris, SCO UnixWare 7, and Windows NT. This
product was formerly known as DDCS Multi-User Gateway.
- DB2 Client Application Enabler Component
- Provides the ability for a client workstation to access a DB2
server. It is a component that is provided on your CD-ROM.
There are several other DB2 products, which you can order separately:
- DB2 Application Developer's Kit
- Contains a collection of DB2 Universal Database products, clients, DB2
Connect products, DB2 Software Developer's Kits, and application
development tools for all supported operating systems.
The Application Developer's Kit gives you all the tools you need to
create multimedia database applications that can run on a variety of platforms
and can connect to any DB2 server, including DataJoiner.
- DB2 Universal Database Personal Edition
- Allows you to create and use local databases. DB2 Personal Edition
can also act as client to access remote DB2 servers. This product is
available for the OS/2 and Windows 32-bit operating systems only.
- DB2 Connect Personal Edition
- Provides access from a single workstation to DB2 databases residing on
host systems such as MVS/ESA, OS/390, OS/400, VM, and VSE, as well as access
to DB2 databases. DB2 Connect Personal Edition is available for the
OS/2, Windows 3.x, and Windows 32-bit operating systems. This
product was formerly known as DDCS Single-User.
- DB2 Universal Database Extended Enterprise Edition
- A relational database management system that enables local and remote client applications to create, update, control, and manage relational databases using
Structured Query Language (SQL), ODBC, JDBC, or CLI. Its main feature
is the ability for a database to be partitioned across multiple independent
machines of a common platform. To the end-user and application
developer, it still appears as a single database on a single machine.
This fully scalable database system enables an application to use a database
that is simply too large for a single machine to handle efficiently.
SQL operations and utilities can execute in parallel both within and between the individual database partitions, thereby speeding up the
execution time of a single query or command. This product also includes
the DB2 Connect feature that allows access to databases on AS/400, MVS/ESA,
OS/390, VM, or VSE systems. DB2 Extended Enterprise Edition was
formerly known as DB2 Parallel Edition.
- DB2 Client Application Enablers
- Contains all the latest DB2 Client Application Enablers. This is
not a separately orderable product, but it is available with DB2
products.
- DataJoiner
- Provides access from DB2 clients on the network to databases residing on
various heterogeneous data sources such as DB2, Informix, Microsoft SQL
Server, Oracle, and Sybase.
- DB2 File Manager
- Manages files on a file server that are pointed to, and managed by,
DATALINK values in a DB2 database. Use the DB2 File Manager to control
access to files that are external to a DB2 database.
This product is available for the AIX operating system.
In addition to the DB2 products listed above, we provide DB2 Client
Application Enablers CD-ROMs in all the DB2 products packages except the
Personal Edition versions. These CD-ROMs contain all the latest DB2
Client Application Enablers. With DB2 Client Application Enablers,
clients from a variety of platforms can connect to DB2 databases.
