Part 1: | Microsoft's Adam Carroll and Al Hilwa introduce the topics of comparison between IBM DB2 and SQL Server 2000. | |
Part 2: | Many customers assume that IBM DB2 is a single product, but there are a number of IBM DB2 products with different storage architectures, error messages, and structured query language (SQL) syntax. | |
Part 3: | Though known to scale well on the mainframe, not all IBM DB2 environments are equally scalable; and while the mainframe is a good workload consolidation environment, it has few performance proof points running modern-day application architectures. | |
Part 4: | IBM DB2 is known to run centralized data warehouses through a partitioned database architecture that is difficult to plan for, install, and manage. | |
Part 5: | IBM provides tools to address inherent complexities in IBM DB2, rather than providing automatic or truly self-managing features. | |
Part 6: | IBM has made some product packaging changes with minimal implications for customers but the price increases of the enterprise edition are significant. | |
Part 7: | IBM DB2 has a way to go in terms of natively supporting SQL stored procedures, whereas Microsoft SQL Server has supported SQL stored procedures from version 1.0. |
