Tuesday October 28, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am WIB
Aristoteles 2
Accurate catalog statistics are the lifeblood of the Db2 query optimizer. Db2 has had automatics statistics support since version 8.2 and real-time statistics were introduced in version 9.5. Automatic statistics collection is enabled by default for new databases and is the recommend best practice. So if you are still hesitant to use them, attend this session to gain a deeper understanding of how they work and why you can trust them to simplify your DB administration and improve overall query performance. In addition to providing details on the automatic statistics architecture, this presentation will provide details on ways to monitor and control automatic statistics collection so that it works well for any type of Db2 system.

D7 | Db2 – the database of choice for High Availability in a Hybrid/Multi-Cloud Environment
Tuesday October 28, 2025 11:30am - 12:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
It is evident from recent market reports that the Hybrid/Multi-Cloud market size is in billions of dollars and growing. Reliability and High Availability are amongst the factors that are driving this growth. Indeed, there are numerous recent examples of one of the major public clouds going offline for a number of hours. Indeed, this is a concern one of our customers came to us with – can Db2 be used for HA across multiple clouds? The answer was, yes, absolutely! In this presentation, we showcase Db2 as the database of choice in a Hybrid/Multi-Cloud environment to provide high availability using the HADR feature. We show how workloads can very quickly and efficiently be moved between different cloud environments in case the primary cloud environment becomes offline, sharing hints, tips, and gotchas along the way. We will look at primarily two use cases – the first involves the primary being on-premises and standbys being on multiple public clouds (for example, AWS, Azure, GCP). The second use case is an all-cloud environment, with the primary being one of the public clouds and standbys being on other multiple public clouds.

D9 | Monitoring the new multi-tier storage architecture when using Native Cloud Object Storage
Tuesday October 28, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
Db2 v11.5.9 introduced a new Native Cloud Object Storage (NCOS) feature for Db2 Warehouse to decouple compute and storage, and improve scalability, reliability, and performance. This feature introduces a new multi-tier storage hierarchy with a local cache to compensate for the difference I/O characteristics of Cloud Object Storage. For this reason, the feature also introduced new monitoring elements that allow the users to see the physical input/output (I/O) activity in each layer. In this talk, we will dive into the new multi-tier storage architecture, and the new monitoring metrics introduced to discover what they cover, how they work, and how they can be used to get useful feedback for your running applications. We'll go through example use cases. Lastly, we’ll explore the enhancements introduced in the latest Db2 V12.1 release.

Wednesday October 29, 2025 10:20am - 11:20am WIB
Aristoteles 2
Being a Db2 consultant for more than 25 years I often face the challenge that I had to use EXPLAIN as part of a Performance analysis.
Now we have Tools like Visual Explain in IBM Data Studio and Data Management Console (DMC) as well as db2exfmt and db2caem as command line tools - but what do I do when I have no IBM Data Studio or DMC around and no access to a Db2 command line?
In my presentation I will show how to do EXPLAIN on a SQL statement and analyze the SQL Access Plan from within almost any SQL Frontend tool (DBeaver, Squirrel, DBVisualizer and others)
I will show that for

"normal" EXPLAIN
EXPLAIN from a Section in Package Cache or Sections in Activity Event Monitor tables

D13 | Db2 for Agentic AI: New Capabilities, Frameworks, and Real-World Use Cases
Wednesday October 29, 2025 4:30pm - 5:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
Many enterprise AI projects still rely on moving data out of databases into separate systems for training and inference. This often adds delays, increases risk, and makes it harder to maintain secure and reliable applications. Db2 takes a different approach. It has long supported in-database machine learning and AI, and it continues to evolve. New features—such as vector search, model inference, and integration with AI frameworks—make Db2 well-suited for building modern enterprise AI systems. In this talk, I’ll walk through the AI capabilities available in Db2 today—both existing and newly added. I’ll show how they help teams build AI applications more efficiently, keep data secure, and reduce complexity across the stack. A special focus will be on how these features enable the development of modern AI agents—applications that combine reasoning, retrieval, and structured data to solve real business problems inside the enterprise.

Thursday October 30, 2025 2:00pm - 6:30pm WIB
Aristoteles 2
A cloud native resource without monitoring (or with a very complex monitoring setup) is like driving a car without a dashboard - you wouldn't know if you are speeding or low on fuel! Db2 needs a concise and simplified monitoring solution that gives a bird eye's view on the performance metrics and Db2 diagnostics. We present here a solution that is available in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and IBM Cloud while running Db2 with a Infrastructure as a Service model.
The speaker will cover her experience of collaboration with all cloud vendors, Db2 development and customers like SAP. The session will share the findings from that reserach and development project and it is based on the cloud native monitoing solutions currently available. The solution consists of a smart combination of Db2 monitoring capabilities, Operating System scheduling and Cloud logging functionality resulting in an out-of-the-box Db2 monitoing solution.
The solution has the following features:
Displays the most important metrics (based on customer data) of a database instance namely, Bufferpool quality, Activities per second, Activity wait time and Logging performance.Information regarding Db2 Diagnostics by providing the count of increasing errors that can be easily extended for a comprehensive diagnostic analysis. Whether or not the database is alive. This solution introduces the Monitoring as a Service infrastructure and ables you to build your own cloud native monitoring solution with a few fingertips.
