Compatibility features for Netezza Platform Software (NPS)

Db2® provides features that enable applications that were written for a Netezza® Platform Software (NPS) database to use a Db2 database without having to be rewritten.

Some NPS compatibility features (such as equivalent data type names and the DATASLICEID pseudocolumn) are always active; others are active only if the SQL_COMPAT global variable is set to 'NPS'.
