    Blog - ETL in the cloud using SQL Query and Db2

    The SQL Query service on IBM Cloud allows to process data stored on Cloud Object Storage (COS) by writing SQL queries. So far, results were either shown in the console and / or written back to files on COS. Thus, I was happy to notice a new feature: Query results can now be written back to Db2 tables (on cloud). From my tests both Db2 on Cloud and Db2 Warehouse on Cloud are supported.

    White-paper - Db2 Prefetching - Understanding, Configuring, Monitoring, Tuning

    This document explains the Db2 prefetcher model and shows how you configure and monitor asynchronous I/O, particularly for SQL query processing. It’s for administrators of Db2 environments who have a fair knowledge of Db2 administrative topics and tasks. The paper is based on the author’s experience with Db2 systems in SAP environments, but the information provided is expected to be helpful in all environments running on Db2.https://www-03.ibm.com/support/techdocs/atsmastr.nsf/WebIndex/WP102804
