  • Introduction to DB2
    Chong_Chapter01.fm Page 1 Tuesday, December 4, 2007 12:53 PM C HAPTER1 Introduction to DB2 ATABASE 2 (DB2) for Linux, UNIX, and Windows is a data server developed by IBM. D Version 9.5, available since October 2007, is the most current version of the product, and the one on which we focus in this book. In this chapter you will learn about the following: • The history of DB2 • The information management portfolio of products • How DB2 is developed • DB2 server editions and clients • How DB2 is packaged for developers • Syntax diagram conventions 1.1 BRIEF HISTORY OF DB2 Since the 1970s, when IBM Research invented the Relational Model and the Structured Query Language (SQL), IBM has developed a complete family of data servers. Development started on mainframe platforms such as Virtual Machine (VM), Virtual Storage Extended (VSE), and Mul- tiple Virtual Storage (MVS). In 1983, DB2 for MVS Version 1 was born. “DB2” was used to indicate a shift from hierarchical databases—such as the Information Management System (IMS) popular at the time—to the new relational databases. DB2 development continued on mainframe platforms as well as on distributed platforms.1 Figure 1.1 shows some of the high- lights of DB2 history. 1. Distributed platforms, also referred to as open system platforms, include all platforms other than main- frame or midrange operating systems. Some examples are Linux, UNIX, and Windows. 1 Chong_Chapter01.fm Page 2 Tuesday, December 4, 2007 12:53 PM 2 Chapter 1 • Introduction to DB2 Platform SQL/DS VM/VSE DB2 for MVS MVS V1 OS/400 SQL/400 OS/2 OS/2 V1 Extended Edition with RDB capabilities DB2 DB2 DB2 9.5 AIX DB2 for Parallel AIX V1 Edition UDB HP-UX V1 V5 Solaris & DB2 V1 other UNIX (for other UNIX) Windows Linux 1982 1983 1987 1988 1993 1994 1996 2007 Years Figure 1.1 DB2 timeline In 1996, IBM announced DB2 Universal Database (UDB) Version 5 for distributed platforms.
