What do you like best about IBM Db2?

What I like most about DB2 is knowing that I've been using a database for over 20 years that is 100% supported and I'll be able to read the same data in 20 years without having to worry about changing technologies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IBM Db2?

Long following with IBM AS400. Has been implemented in other platforms. The direct access, and relational database layout. The use of "Members" is specific to IBM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IBM Db2?

Use of Memebers makes it difficult to query with Basic SQL. However, the platform on an IBM AS400 does have built in SQL. Not all of the standard SQL options are available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IBM Db2 solving and how is that benefiting you?

Interface with other databases such as MySQL on Azure Platform. Cross warehouse sync with IBM SAN sync.

The database is a direct access, however, the issue becomes with Members and those accessing with SQL that have never seen a Member based DBASe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
