Log stored procedures messages for DB2 on Linux or Unix
This article presents a logging framework that you can use with DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows stored procedures to log informational, error, and debug messages directly from the procedure itself. The logging framework methods use shared memory concepts to coordinate and change logging behavior at run time. Logging can be controlled globally for all procedures, or at the
individual procedure level. This article has been updated for DB2 9.

The ultimate mashup -- Web services and the semantic Web, Part 2: Manage a mashup data cache
The many massive applications that you use day to day for search, online shopping or to find your way around town provide data for your use in a completely new application. Enterprising application developers have created many mashup applications to coax a specific purpose out of the combination of several applications' data sets. Part 1 of this series discussed an application, which begins to draw data from several services and combines it. Now we will discuss how to save request results to a DB2 9 database, plus take some of the load off of those external services and improve performance dramatically.

Real-world Apache Derby, Part 3: Portable document storage
Document storage is hot, hot, hot! There has been an explosion of
methodologies and tool sets -- both open source and proprietary -- to fulfill the
demand for quickly locating and searching documents. Enabling technologies like
Alfresco, Sharepoint, or my favorite, TWiki, are powerful, but they have a fairly
high learning curve -- or worse, store the documents in a proprietary format. There
must be an easier way. Let's take Derby and mash it with a new feature in OpenOffice
2.0, the Open Document Format (ODF). Using these tools, you can create a repository
that lets you store, search, and extract ODF documents in a standards-based manner.
Also learn to use the power of the improved XML features of IBM DB2, Version 9 to
make this solution easier to implement.
