One of the best database servers
What do you like best about the product?
I have mainly used DB2 along with IBM BPM as a product and application database for both non production and production environments. Running commands from Command Line Interface or IBM Data Studio is ease. Great performance with faster query returns. Vary much stable, occasionally goes down. Requires very low maintenance once deployed. Task scheduler is a great advantage. Can stored XML data to reduce development.
What do you dislike about the product?
Administrating is bit difficult. Lack of proper documentation for all administration tasks. Requires costle hardwares and licensing cost is also high. Support from IBM takes lots of time even after raising PMRs.
IBM Data Studio is a heavy software, preferable to use other Database clients like DBVisualizer, Oracle SQL Developer etc.
