Databases supported in a DB/DC environment

The DB/DC environment supports all full-function databases (HSAM, SHSAM, HISAM, SHISAM, HDAM, PHDAM, HIDAM, PHIDAM, and PSINDEX).

BMP regions in a DB/DC environment can access GSAM databases. BMP regions can also access external subsystems (for example, Db2 for z/OS®), because DB/DC supports the external subsystem interface.

Fast Path data entry databases (DEDBs) and main storage databases (MSDBs) are also supported.

Note: PHDAM, PHIDAM, and PSINDEX are database types added for High Availability Large Database (HALDB). They are partitioned equivalents of HDAM, HIDAM, and secondary indexes, respectively.
