•DB2 features in V5R4, i6.1 and i7.1 •Review DB2 functions in PHP •Explore the possibilities •Q&A

•Version – Major release Technology refresh - #5 released to GA and more coming… •Why do I care? - Rising tide raises all boats… In other words, improvements in DB2, SQL and especially SQE will improve features and performance in all languages like • Java • RPG • COBOL • Of, of course PHP! And, ODBC, JDBC, ADO

Subscribe to blog and get notified!

•http://db2fori.blogspot.com/

•Free format embedded SQL (RPG) •PHP DB2 interface was delivered (back-leveled to V5R3) •Automatic journaling enhancements •SQE makes its debut in V5R2 and gets tweaked in V5R4 •Speed enhancements of SPL •System i Navigator enhancements •Content Manager delivered. •Much more…

•Sunset is on the horizon •September 30, 2013 – EOL for V5R4

•Extended support for a fee, but Get thyself to i6.1 or higher!

Insert10 ->Header & Footer © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. Lots of new features! •Supergroup CUBE and ROLLUP •VALUES in FROM clause Many new functions! •INSERT in FROM This is a BANG up release! •Expression support in Index •Row change TIMESTAMP •Hidden Columns •Full outer join •Skip locked data •For each finds its way to SPL! •Many new functions, & features. This is a bang up release! 11 Insert ->Header & Footer © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. IBM DB2 Storage Engine for MySQL

•Makes debut in i6.1 •Creates tables •Populates data

•Shipped with Zend DBi

 http://www.zend.com/en/products/dbi/ •Supported by IBM •Redbook

 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg247705.html

•SQL Server Mode Subsystem Control Server job QSQSRVR runs in QSYSWRK by default Can change to same subsystem as application PHP application runs in QHTTPSVR Better memory control and workload partitioning •ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_SRVRMODE_SBS) VALUE('*SAME') LEVEL(*SYS)

•Enhanced SQL & RPG integration •Greater result set support •XML Data Type •Performance Adaptive query processing Self Learning Optimization Logical file on FROM support, select omit observance •SSD and in memory DB enablement •IBM i Navigator enhancements Progress monitor, Index advisor, etc.

•Since PHP runs natively on IBM i Zend Server! DRDA via PASE •All features available!!!

•Useful for protecting sensitive data from dynamic queries •Hide a column by default •Column is still there and can be manipulated directly

CREATE TABLE ZENDDATA/EMPMAST ( NAME CHAR (20 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, CITY CHAR (20 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, STATE CHAR (2 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, SSN INT NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT IMPLICITLY HIDDEN)

•Must explicitly reference field on insert statement (lost sleep here, but makes sense) •Then values clause…

INSERT INTO ZENDDATA.EMPMAST (NAME, CITY, STATE, SSN) VALUES('Sheldon Cooper', 'San Jose', 'CA‘,567891234);

•So using “select *” returns only the visible fields…

•Reference hidden field explicitly to reveal data

•Write dynamic routines to display data •Database can manage what is seen by default •But as a developer, you can still manipulate and control!

•Include the column in the select •Now you can see it…

• What is MySQL • Install • Access • GUI’s • DB2 Storage Engine • Q&A

• Most Popular and widely used Open Source Database

• Relational Database management System (RDBMS)

• Like DB2, but not, really

• Command line interface

• Many GUI utilities available to manage

© All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. MySQL Options 1. If you have never installed MySQL or Zend DBi • Perform a clean installation of Zend DBi 2. Otherwise, if you have MySQL & no real data • Delete MySQL (Steps on next slide) 3. If you have data and are at Version 5.1.x of MySQL • Update to Zend DBI via the install process 4. Lastly, if you have data at a version 5.0.x or lower 1. Export data 2. Delete MySQL & Perform clean install of ZendDBi 3. Import your data

| 5 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Details on deleting MySQL • Steps for a clean removal… • ENDSBS ZMYSQL OPTION(*IMMED) • DLTLIB ZMYSQL • CALL QP2TERM • rm -f /usr/local/mysql • rm -r -f /usr/local/mysql-5.1.50-i5os-power-64bit • rm -r -f /usr/local/mysqldata • rm -f /etc/my.cnf • rm -f /tmp/mysql.sock

| 6 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Zend DBi Installation process • Documented at Zend.com • Option to install or update within point release • Can update 5.1.x to 5.1.y (Zend Server) • Cannot update 5.0.x to 5.1.y (Zend Core) • Download .zip from Zend.com, contains SAVF & README • Follow readme.txt in SAVF, pretty straight forward • Required LP’s are typically installed before Zend Server • A word about QSECOFR…UID = 0

© All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. MySQL Monitor • MySQL has no native GUI interface (sound familiar?) • Command line accessible from QSHELL, QP2TERM, etc. • This is the natural method for accessing. • Will show you access, but not a big fan. • Fully documented at MySQL website • Many books on the subject

| 10 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Starting MySQL Monitor • I typically use CALL QP2TERM, can use QSH, etc. • cd /usr/local/mysql/bin • The mysql> is the prompter for the monitor • Mysql –u root • Mysql –u root password=‘mikey’

| 11 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Difference between QP2TERM and Qshell • QP2TERM is window to PASE • Cannot run IBM native programs like DB2, etc. • Qshell is a Unix like shell • Runs many things you find on Unix and IBM binaries Qshell Call QP2TERM

| 12 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Difference between QP2TERM and Qshell • QP2TERM is window to PASE • Cannot run IBM native programs like DB2, etc. • Qshell is a Unix like shell • Runs many things you find on Unix and IBM binaries Qshell Call QP2TERM

Database Library

Ta bl e Physical File / Table

Index Logical File / Index

Monitor STRSQL

| 15 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 Set database •Use • Selects the database you will use for processing • Database is like a library, where you store tables, etc. • Typically one database per application

select host, user, password from user;

• Use “quit” to end the session in the MySQL Monitor and F3 to close shell.

• But there has to be a better way… • Just like DB navigator, there’s alternatives!

Adminer Single PHP script Lightweight, powerful and easy to use phpMyAdmin Widely used by community Installed with Zend Server

© All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. phpMyAdmin • Open Source PHP Project • Provides nearly every access to MySQL you might need • Installed automatically with Zend Server • Access from Zend Server Dashboard… • Documentation at http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/

| 23 © All rights reserved. Zend Technologies, Inc. 02/04/ 10 phpMyAdmin – Password management • Login with “root” profile • Create your profile • Test your profile • Change root password IMMEDIATELY (if not sooner)

Many PHP applications in the open source arena Can be easily installed Modifying to access DB2 can be cumbersome & then updates? Zend DBi includes IBM DB2 Storage Engine

From the MySQL Monitor in QSH or QP2TERM install plugin ibmdb2i soname “ha_ibmdb2i.so”; Instruction is in Install Notes for ZendDBi and IBM Redbooks

Create Table, set number of fields Select storage engine

Library “TEST” was created Table “EXAMPLEDB2” was created Records populated

STRSQL Select * from test/exampleDB2
