Using Data Studio Administrator and DB2 High Performance Unload for fast and efficient data and schema migration
As a database administrator (DBA), you might need to upgrade your database server when faster and
more efficient hardware is made available to you. And you probably need to do
this with as little impact to production performance as possible. In this
article, you will follow two scenarios step-by-step to see how Erik, a DBA at a fictional company, uses Data Studio
Administrator 2.1 and DB2(R) High Performance Unload 4.1 together to accomplish fast
and efficient data migration. These scenarios describe how to efficiently combine the ease of use of Data Studio
Administrator with the high-speed unload capabilities of DB2(R) High Performance
Unload.

Avoid scalability problems with data migration to new releases
Software that's based on a database, and is regularly upgraded with new
releases, can generate myriad combinations of migration paths. As the number of
releases grows, the increasing number of migration paths to be supported becomes
time-consuming and expensive. In this article, learn how two migration patterns
can help you avoid release-to-release scalability problems in data migration. The
patterns, based on serial data transformation and hub-and-spoke structure, let you
build an automated, reusable, and flexible migration framework in which the migration paths from all previous releases to a new release can be easily implemented.

Migrating from Oracle 10g to IBM Informix Dynamic Server on Linux, Unix, and Windows
We discuss considerations, and describe a methodology, for migrating from Oracle 10g to the Informix Dynamic Server (IDS). We focus primarily on the basic topic areas of data, applications, and administration, providing information about the differences in features and functionality in areas such as data types, DML, DDL, and Stored Procedures.
Understanding the features and functionality of the two products will better enable your decisions as you develop your migration plan. We provide a migration methodology and discuss the processes for installing and using the IBM Migration Toolkit (MTK) to migrate the database objects and data from Oracle to IDS. We also illustrate, with examples, how to convert stored procedures, functions, and triggers. Application programming and conversion considerations are also discussed. The laboratory examples are performed under Oracle 10g and IDS Version 11.5. However, the processes and examples can also be applied to Oracle 7, 8, and 9i.

Use Technology Explorer for IBM DB2 to manage user and group
authentication for DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows
Learn how to use the Technology Explorer (TE) for IBM DB2(R) to control
user and group authentication to DB2 through the use of a security plug-in
called db2auth. The plug-in uses a DB2 database for storing authentication
information instead of an external authentication repository, such as an
operating system or Kerberos. The plug-in allows for a smoother migration from other
database software such as MySQL, which also stores authentication information
within the database. This article also describes how the support in TE for the
db2auth plug-in was implemented. [2009 Nov 13: Updated to show Linux support.

Default mapping for annotated XML schema
The IBM DB2 Viper release brings many new XML-related (and non-XML) features. One such feature is the annotated XML schema decomposition that allows you to decompose their XML documents into relational tables. The annotated XML schema supports various mapping constructs that allow you to map elements/attributes defined in the XML schema to table-column pairs in the relational schema. For large XML schemas consisting of many XML schema documents, manual annotation can be a cumbersome task. Get an introduction to the tool, DefaultAnnotater, that allows you to create default mapping and a default relational schema into which corresponding XML documents can be decomposed. This article provides a good starting platform for not only trying out the new function, but also further enhancing the mapping in a given XML schema.

Intra- and inter-item type movement in DB2 Content Manager
Most mature repositories can move objects in and out of a container at will. This article explains how to move data within a data container, as well as how to move objects between item types. Partial or complete objects can be moved from one system to another. Objects that are being moved out from the source item type will be removed and added to the target item type. This is especially true during the development phase, where partial data will eventually be moved to a production system.
