REMEMBER CASUAL DRESS
Message from the chair:
According to our contacts, Version 8 is still a hot item,
and many people are still on the move to migrate to it. This session will help both future and
existing V8 installations as we hear more about set up and planning, and share
implementation experiences with fellow DVDUG members. Phil Grainger is no stranger to DB2, having
been with it since DB2 Version 1, and if you haven’t been fortunate enough to
hear Phil speak at IDUG, this will be an excellent local venue to catch him on
his fly through the PA, NY, and NJ area.
Please note that we will not be having another meeting
before the end of the year, this meeting will be you last chance this year to
come out for a day away from the office with your DVDUG colleagues, and share
experiences.
See you at
Dave & Busters!

Meeting
Overview
DB2
Version 8 for z/OS - In Depth
Phil Grainger, Computer
Associates
Now that Version 8 of DB2
for z/OS is available, it is perhaps time to revisit all of the new functionality
that this release delivers. In terms of new code, there is more here than in
the previous THREE biggest releases of DB2 combined, so we're in for a wild
ride.
This presentation spends a
whole day looking at version 8, from the new issues of the migration process
(the 3 modes of DB2) through extensions to existing features and delivery of
brand new functionality.
From on-line schema
evolution, through table based partitioning, to Unicode object names, it's all
here.
