IBM Db2 integrates advanced AI-powered query optimization capabilities, allowing enterprises to tap into the potential of AI within their database operations. This feature provides automated performance tuning, enabling the system to continuously learn from historical query patterns and adapt execution plans for optimal performance.
IBM Db2 12.1.2.0 introduces a new built-in data type, VECTOR, allowing users to store and manage vectorized data for AI applications. With support for semantic similarity searches, users can now run SQL queries with vector distance metrics, perform nearest neighbor searches, and generate vector embeddings for applications like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and recommendation systems. Db2 now enables seamless integration of AI applications with routine operational workloads by managing both structured and unstructured data.
Build secure access control ensuring that only authorized applications can perform specific operations. Protect data in-motion and at rest, monitor and detect unknown behaviors and help to ensure the privacy of your data with Db2’s end-to-end governance and security capabilities.
With Db2 12.1.2.0 comes enhancement options such as the option to remove world-writeable permissions on Db2 files and directories and the ability to specify ‘Mask at Read’ to obfuscate sensitive data during query operations.
Enable faster data retrieval and high-performance applications with best-in-class compression, scalable storage and compute, and machine-learning-based query optimization to support all your workload needs.
Db2 enables multiple high-performing, mission-critical workloads (transactional, analytical, operational) to run against the same database. Db2 can also feed data to Db2 Warehouse and watsonx.data for new insights and AI with trusted data.
