Evaluate: IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

IBM® DB2® 9.7 for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows® takes the cost savings, ease of use, and security of DB2 9 to the next level. For example, the industry-leading deep compression technology introduced in DB2 9 has been enhanced and extended in DB2 9.7. The result is even lower storage costs in DB2 9.7 compared with DB2 9. Beyond the concrete storage cost savings deep compression offered, it also simplified administration of large databases and lead to welcome performance gains for many clients.

Help: Update or add to My dW interests

What's this?

This little timesaver lets you update your My developerWorks profile with just one click! The general subject of this content (AIX and UNIX, Information Management, Lotus, Rational, Tivoli, WebSphere, Java, Linux, Open source, SOA and Web services, Web development, or XML) will be added to the interests section of your profile, if it's not there already. You only need to be logged in to My developerWorks.

And what's the point of adding your interests to your profile? That's how you find other users with the same interests as yours, and see what they're reading and contributing to the community. Your interests also help us recommend relevant developerWorks content to you.
