Past presentation
28 May 2019
16:00 - 17:00		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2019 What every Db2 Professional Should Know about IBM Cloud Private for Data (ICP4D)

Db2 clients, will hear a lot about ICP4D in 2019 and this session will help them understand what it means for them and how Db2 fits into a local private cloud environment
28 May 2019
14:00 - 15:00		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2019 Deploying Db2 in a Kubernetes Environment
Kubernetes clusters have become the default deployment environment for many IT organisations in both private and public cloud deployments. While Kubernetes has its origins application orchestration, it is equally useful for Db2 deployments.
This session will examine how to deploy Db2 in a Kubernetes environment using Docker containers. While the fundamentals are the same, how to provide storage, manage networks and ensure high availability are different in Kubernetes. 
These options open new possibilities for flexible, agile Db2 deployments.
28 May 2019
09:00 - 10:15		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2019 Db2 for AI - Leveraging Db2's analytic functions for faster Data Science
In Data Science the 80/20 rule means spending 80% of time preparing data and 20% actually using it. With so many organisations looking to use Data Science/Machine Learning/AI making more efficient use of time is vital.
Another dimension of this problem is the volume of data to be processed. Better input leads to better models, but for analysts and scientists access to the full data set isn't always practical.
This session will explore how to use Db2 to enhance data exploration using built-in capabilities such as Principal Component Analysis and K-means clustering, and apply it to the entire data set. We'll also cover using
Db2 with languages such as Python, and common tools such as Pandas.
13 June 2018
11:30 - 12:30		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2018 Using Db2 with REST APIs
How applications and management tools interact with databases have changed significantly in modern agile environments.  Db2 is embracing this change and REST APIs offer a flexible, driver-free way to interact with the database for both administration and user applications.
 
In this presentation we’ll explore the tools and APIs to allow query, data load and user life-cycle management without ever having to use a SQL environment. For Dev, QA and Prod environments this offers rapid and consistent way to interact with Db2 in the IBM Cloud or Private cloud environments.
12 June 2018
16:00 - 17:00		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2018 Rapid Db2 deployment with Docker and Kubernetes
The rise of Platform-as-a-Service has revolutionised application development and deployment. Applications s are composed, configured and orchestrated in a dynamic and agile manner. Databases, however, are still perceived as a traditional component lacking deployment or configuration flexibility.
 
In this presentation we’ll look at how Db2 instances can be deployed and destroyed on-demand, using Docker container technology.  We’ll also look at how Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate Db2 in a wider context to provide dynamic provisioning of entire applications.
14 June 2017
10:00 - 11:00		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2017 Using In-Database Analytics with DB2 and dashDB

DB2 and dashDB offer several features for applications to push down predefined or user-defined analytics functions into the database engine. Such push down provides better performance and data governance characteristics than traditional approaches. This session explains how to use in-database analytics features such as clustering and regression algorithms, user-defined aggregate functions, in-database scoring with SAS and SPSS, as well as data analysis and visualization with R. 
13 June 2017
11:45 - 13:00		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2017 What's New in DB2 11 - BLU Acceleration 2.0!

DB2 11 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows includes a broad set of enhancements to BLU Acceleration, taking the columnar in-memory database technology to a new level of maturity, performance, and scalability. This sessions provides an overview of new features and improvements in BLU Acceleration, including BLU DPF, native columnar sort and OLAP processing, columnar temporary tables, nested loop joins, richer support for SQL functions, extended codepage support, and other functional and performance enhancements. The new features will be presented through a series of examples with usage guidelines and best practices.
13 June 2017
10:15 - 11:30		 European SQLAdria Seminar – Šibenik 2017 What's New in DB2 11 - Part 1

This presentation helps you understand some of the most significant changes and enhancements in DB2 11 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. We will review the new fixpack strategy for DB2 LUW and discuss how the process for database upgrades has been greatly simplified. Additionally, this session explains new security features as well as reorg enhancements, performance and concurrency improvement, and significant simplifications for workload management and database federation.
