Afternoon Presentation
DB2 Java Performance
Dave Beulke, IBM
Java is becoming the most
popular development language for todays systems. Since there are so many
java coding techniques and java object options, java can be particularly
difficult to design, complex to code, and problematic for achieving your
performance goals. This presentation will take you through my experiences
over the last four years tuning client java systems running on z/OS and distributed
system. It will also highlight the new Data Studio and pureQuery features and
its ability to code your java database access in many different fashions to
match whatever application requirements are necessary.
In addition, discussions
will also highlight pureQuery that can enhance performance and tuning
capabilities by statically binding your java against the DB2 system. This
enhances the accountability of your SQL, provides many security advantages and
debugging capabilities. Through this presentation you will learn the java
system architectures, coding techniques and what questions to ask to fix your
java system performance issues.
Speaker:
David Beulke is an
internationally recognized DB2 consultant, author and lecturer. He is known for
