DB2

DB2 is a relational database management system that runs as a separate subsystem on mainframe computers, allowing for multiple DB2 environments like Development, Test, and Production to be created using uniquely named subsystems of 1-8 characters. DB2 subsystems consist of database objects that define the structure and storage of tables, indexes, and other elements that can all be accessed and manipulated using SQL commands executed through application programs, batch processes, or query tools.

DB2 is a RDBMS, stored as a separate subsystem on mainframe.

Multiple DB2 subsystems can be created for different envs like Development, Test, Production etc.

DB2 subsystems are named with 1-8 characters.

e.g. for Development env DB2 subsystem can be named as DSD1, DSD2,….

for Test env DB2 subsystem can be named as DST1, DST2,….

for Prod env DB2 subsystem can be named as DSP1, DSP2,….

DB2 subsystems consist of DB objects which are DB group, storage group, table space, index space,
tables, indexes, columns, rows etc.

All the objects can be accessed using SQL.

All the SQL commands are executed using application program/batch or tools like QMF (Query
