The database Big Blue doesn't like to talk about gets makeover in November
IBM likes to be secretive about Db2, the 41-year-old database still used by some of the world's largest banks and retailers, but occasionally something leaks out.
Db2 comes in various flavors – mainly, a mainframe release for z/OS, currently on v13, and Linux Unix and Windows , for which v12 is expected to arrive in November. In keeping with 2024 trends, IBM also emphasized AI integration in its presentation. For LUW v12, IBM promises an AI-powered query optimizer, which will"allow Db2 to continuously learn from customer's queries and achieve up to three times query performance improvement over prior version," according to a presentation slide. Big Blue also promises Db2 will be"infused with GenAI" in some non-specific way.
"Optimization has always been a strong point of IBM's and the work they've put into the AI optimizer has the potential to revolutionize query performance. Using AI based on models of each organization's workloads should enable query optimization to be specialized for each user profile. Of course, this will likely a long-term adoption and acceptance.
