This DB2 Chat with the Lab was held on November 14, 2006.
Managing database storage can be a resource intensive and a time consuming task. The recently introduced Automatic Storage in DB2 9 represents a major leap forward. This feature can associate a set of storage paths with a database, create table spaces on these storage paths without explicitly specifying storage or containers, and let DB2 automatically extend and add containers on the fly. All these capabilities contribute to lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your database environment by substantially reducing the amount of storage administration that database administrators have to perform. This Chat with the Lab will dive into the details on Automatic Storage and the role it plays in DB2 for LUW's storage strategy.
Join Sal Vella, VP of DB2 development, Aamer Sachedina, Senior Software Engineer in DB2 Development, to learn about Automatic Storage in DB2 9, and understand how you can make your job as a DBA much easier.
