Fact #1- SQL is the only way an application can get data from DB2 (outside of utilities).
Fact #2 - SQL can make DB2 fly or crawl.
Fact #3 - 70% of the performance gains can be achieved by tuning SQL

During this presentation you will get a better understanding of how DB2 dissects SQL. We delve into the mechanics of the DB2 optimiser. DB2 EXPLAIN is explained – this helps the programmer gain insight on how the SQL will perform. Accounting Records offer vital information about how efficient the SQL actually is, here we look at what to concentrate on to spot problems quickly. And finally we have a look at best practise techniques on how to write good SQL.
