Download a free trial version of IBM® DB2® 9.7 for Linux®, UNIX®, and Windows®. DB2 9.7 takes the cost savings, ease of use, and security of DB2 9.5 to the next level. For example, the industry-leading deep compression technology introduced in DB2 9.5 has been enhanced and extended in DB2 9.7. The result is even lower storage costs in DB2 9.7 compared with DB2 9.5. 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.

You have the option to select which trial edition (Enterprise, Workgroup, or Express) to install after downloading the code.

DB2 9.7 Express Edition, Workgroup Server Edition, and Enterprise Edition are available to use on the cloud. DB2 Express is an entry level data server that is suitable for transaction processing. DB2 Workgroup Server Edition is a data server ideal for deployment in medium-sized business environments. DB2 Enterprise Developer Edition is ideal for high-performing, robust, on-demand enterprise solutions.
