2 Planned availability date December 8, 2009: Electronic software delivery December 22, 2009: Media and documentation Description Greater storage savings with enhanced deep compression in DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 expands the scope of its advanced data row compression to more types of data. This can further reduce your storage requirements while improving the efficiency and performance of your disk and I/O. XML data in the XML storage object of a table can now be compressed using data row compression. Temporary tables are now automatically compressed by the DB2 optimizer to maximize storage savings and performance. Indexes can be compressed. If data row compression is enabled on a table, indexes on the compressed tables will be compressed by default. Data replication source tables can be compressed. In addition, because some inline large object (LOB) files can now be stored in base table rows, you can use data row compression to compress them as well. When a LOB is smaller than a specified size, the LOB is now stored in the row of the base table instead of in the separate LOB storage object, increasing performance. Compression is included with InfoSphere Warehouse Enterprise Edition and is available through the Storage Optimization Feature license for InfoSphere Warehouse Enterprise Base Edition. Analytics that enable business users to obtain deeper insight into their business and discover new opportunities to grow their business InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 introduces powerful, self-optimizing time series forecasting. Business users can easily create forecasts to model revenue growth, better predict seasonal sales, and anticipate out-of-stock situations. Visualization is done within a Web 2.0 based user interface. Like all InfoSphere Warehouse data mining functionality, the time series forecasting component resides inside the database allowing for large-scale data processing and easy integration into business processes for automatic forecasting. New tools can significantly reduce the time and effort for the most time-consuming task of a data mining project, which is data preparation. Data preparation profiles allow people, who know the relevant data to express the necessary data transformations in a natural way - without the need for SQL knowledge or the help of a database administrator. Easy-to-use solution wizards guide users through the whole process to create a "ready-to-run" mining flow. This significantly reduces the time from problem definition to business insight. A new Radial Basis Function (RBF) algorithm complements the set of algorithms available for predictive analysis. Support for virtual cubes and internal performance improvements in Cubing Services give business users more flexibility to perform multi-dimensional OLAP analysis in near real-time with large volumes of data. Fine grained security control in Cubing Services gives organizations the assurance to seamlessly deliver OLAP information across the enterprise wide.

3 Operational insight with end-to-end support for XML documents For many organizations, the ability to more effectively integrate XML into their information management environment has become a business necessity. With InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7, organizations now have the ability to manage and analyze large volumes of XML data that were previously locked away in transactional systems. DB2 purexml TM technology has been enhanced to support XML data in range partitioned tables, multidimensional clustering (MDC) tables, declared temporary tables, user defined functions, and partitioned database environments. To populate warehouse systems, the SQL Warehousing Tool now supports the extraction, transformation, and publishing of XML data. The performance of purexml has also been improved. Multiple XML documents in a column can now be decomposed at the same time. In addition, write access is supported during creation or reorganization of indexes over XML data. Finally, all XML data can now be compressed (refer to the compression enhancements description). Design Studio and Administration Console enhancements The Administration Console has been completely redesigned in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 to make administration, deployment, and configuration easier. There is now a common interface for database connections and shared resources. The configuration tool has been simplified and relocated to the Administration Console. The new welcome page and launch pad provides links to useful resources and information. A of improvements have been made in the Design Studio to improve the overall user experience. The SQL Warehousing Tool now provides lightweight debugging of graphical data flows, automatic change propagation, and copy and paste support. Data can now also be extracted from DB2 for z/os and DB2 for i with the SQL Warehousing Tool without additional licenses. Quick start wizards aid in the creation of the Cubing Services cubes and hierarchies. The OLAP menu structure has been simplified and a dimension browser has been added. In addition, Design Studio now shares the same graphical user interface shell with other IBM Optim and Data Studio tools. This reduces the overall installation footprint and provides a consistent look and feel. Performance enhancements in DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 is powered by DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. DB2 9.7 contains numerous performance enhancements benefiting a wide range of database installations. Access plan reuse helps ensure consistent performance for applications not originally written for ideal database performance. By enabling static SQL access plan reuse, you can ensure that queries execute with predictable performance across version or fix pack upgrades, updates to statistics, and some configuration parameter changes. Access plan reuse keeps the access plan chosen for a static SQL statement the same as, or very similar to, the existing query execution plan across binds or rebinds. Statement concentration reduces the need for compilation. The statement concentrator enables SQL statements, which are identical except for the values of literals, to share the same access plan. Sampling RUNSTATS on statistical views run faster in DB The SYSTEM sampling style is now supported and overall sampling performance is better. Optimization guidelines for packages are also easier to apply. Currently committed locking semantics help the cursor stability (CS) isolation level provide better concurrency and faster access to data. The new locking behavior offers significantly reduced lock wait and deadlock scenarios. The new behavior is beneficial in high throughput transaction processing database environments. This IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 3

4 new behavior is particularly beneficial if your applications run against databases from multiple vendors. You can use CS instead of writing and maintaining code pertaining to locking semantics specifically for DB2 databases. This new CS behavior is the default for new databases, and can be enabled for existing databases that have upgraded from a previous release. Scan sharing increases workload concurrency and performance. DB2 allows multiple scanners to coordinate the shared use of buffer pool pages and potentially reduce I/ O through buffer pool page retention. Partitioned indexes on partitioned tables improve performance. With DB2, you can use partitioned indexes to improve performance when you roll data into and out of a table. In addition, partition elimination for queries against a partitioned table that uses partitioned indexes can be more efficient. Business critical reliability and availability You can now invoke a new stored procedure to move the data in a table to a new table object of the same name (but with possibly different storage characteristics) while the data remains online and available for access. You can also generate a new optimal compression dictionary when a table is moved. For systems that are leveraging data partitioning, a new node can be added online to minimize the impact on warehouse environments as the system grows. It is important for your data warehouse to safeguard your data while maintaining availability. DB2 is now more resilient to critical errors or traps. If the data warehouse server determines that it can safely keep working in the event of a critical error or trap, it will try to isolate the problem and provide targeted diagnostic messages to help resolve the issue. If you need to restart the data warehouse server to fix the problem, you can now wait until after peak business hours. Simplified administration InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 provides enhancements that make it easier to manage DB2 environments, help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), reduce the impact of performing system management tasks, and extend the capabilities of the autonomic features. Automatic storage is even more efficient. Unused storage extents are easier to reclaim. Adding database partitions has been simplified. Finally, enhancements to installation, upgrade, and fix pack procedures make DB2 faster to deploy and easier to maintain. InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 accelerates problem solving through new point in time and event monitoring. You can now better understand what is happening inside your data warehouse server by using the new comprehensive monitoring information designed to address common diagnostic problems. Since the new monitoring is also more efficient, this new level of understanding doesn't come at a performance penalty. These enhancements include: New monitor elements, available through SQL, that show where and how the DB2 database manager is spending its time. Improved lock event reporting with a unified approach to monitoring all lock event types. A clearer view into the package cache, including static and dynamic statements. A new event monitor that collects section details when capturing an SQL activity event. Adaptive workload management InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7 enhances and simplifies DB2's integrated workload management. Application-level control and aggregate activity data collection, and the definition of workloads have been simplified. For Linux environments, the workload manager has been integrated with Linux workload management (WLM). DB2 9.7 supports priority aging of in-progress activities, I/O buffer pool priority IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 4

5 control for service classes, new thresholds, and improved time granularity for timebased thresholds. These new controls will allow you to let DB2 react for them as workloads reach certain thresholds. DB2 can then either increase or decrease the priority of the workload ensuring that both runaway queries don't overwhelm a system and that key workloads under tight service level agreements get priority. A new graphic user interface that streamlines the configuration of workload management has been added to InfoSphere Warehouse. Using the interface, you can define workloads, assign business priorities, and enable priority aging to ensure appropriate concurrency controls are applied. Workload Management is included with InfoSphere Warehouse Departmental and Enterprise editions and is available through the Performance Optimization Feature license for InfoSphere Warehouse Enterprise Base Edition. Security enhancements With the of both internal and external security threats growing, it is important that database security can be set up separately from a database administrators (DBAs) control for critical systems. Advances in separation of duties are designed to let you allow DBAs full control over a database while preventing access to the data. You can also easily isolate all security and audit controls to a separate security administrator. Security has further been simplified with new groups making application development privileges as well as workload management simpler. Additionally, security functionality has been extended with AES encryption, Transport Layer Security (TLS), and additional Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) client support. Application development flexibility Significant application development enhancements have been added in InfoSphere Warehouse 9.7. These enhancements will accelerate the creation and modification of warehouse applications and allow developers with multiple SQL language skills to work easily with DB2. Stored procedures and triggers can now be created in less time. The enhancements include more support for implicit casting, the creation of modules, new functions, and a range of new data types. Module and package creation allows developers to bundle and deploy groups of procedures, functions, and variables. A large of new, pre-written, system defined functions and modules simplify the creation of custom administration scripts. Examples of some of the new modules are listed below. Mail - Easily send s and interact with an SMTP server or sockets. Alert and output - The output package will give DBAs the ability to manipulate files as well as write to external files. This is very useful for administrative scripting, debugging, and application deployment. The alert package can be combined with the output module to build custom monitoring and batch scripts. Job scheduling and utility - The job scheduling package can be used within existing scripts to automate job scheduling and tracking. Combine this with the new utility package for greater hands free execution of a wide range of utilities, SQL statements, and commands. File - Working with LOBs and files is now easier with the functions included in the file manipulation package. DB2 9.7 introduces new data type support for NUMBER, VARCHAR2, and DATE with time component. To make data management more compatible with other database management systems, you can now use the NUMBER and VARCHAR2 data types. You can also have the database manager interpret the DATE data type (normally comprised of year, month, day) as a TIMESTAMP(0) data type (comprised of year, month, day, hour, minute, second). Improvements in string manipulation functions such as TO_NUMBER, DATETIME and TO_VARCHAR will make developing against the new data times easy.

6 Alternative SQL language syntax is supported including alternative SQL language syntax for DELETE statements, the RID_BIT scalar function, the FOR UPDATE clause for SELECT INTO statements, and alternative SQL programming language syntax for triggers and procedures. Alternative SQL syntax, such as varying outer join methods, is now supported. DB2 9.7 has new application and administrative interfaces to simplify development. A new scripting and command line development tool, CLPPlus, provides support for dynamically creating, editing, and running SQL statements and scripts. Data dictionary views are now available that enhance the existing DB2 catalog and snapshot information. The data dictionary views are self-describing, so you can determine what information is available and how to access it. Full-text searches with Net Search Extender are available in DB2 9.7 for rangepartitioned tables and additional partitioned database environments. Accessing IBM database management systems (DB2 and Informix ) is easier than ever. The common IBM data server clients and drivers have been enhanced and simplified, as have the IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio and new Python extensions. Autonomous transaction support and the ability to create global temporary tables expands DB2 capabilities. In addition to federating data from DB2 and IDS databases, DB2 9.7 now supports Web services through federation.
