DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition


DB2® Universal Database (UDB) Enterprise Server Edition (ESE) is a multiuser version of DB2 that allows you to create and manage single-partitioned or partitioned database environments. Partitioned database systems can manage high volumes of data and provide benefits such as increased performance and high availability. Other features of DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition include:
  • A data warehouse server and related components.
  • DB2 Connect™ functionality for accessing data stored on midrange and mainframe database systems such as DB2 for iSeries™ or DB2 UDB for z/OS™ and OS/390®. DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition provides support for both local and remote DB2 clients. Use of the DB2 Connect component is limited to five (5) registered users per server. If additional users are required, a separate DB2 Connect program must be acquired. Contact your IBM® sales representative for more information.
  • Satellite administration capabilities allow DB2 UDB ESE to remotely administer

DB2 UDB Personal Edition and DB2 UDB Workgroup Server Edition database servers that are configured as satellites. For more information about satellite capabilities, refer to the satellite administration documentation. DB2 UDB Workgroup edition offers a multiuser product similar to DB2 UDB ESE, but without the ability to create partitioned database environments and without DB2 Connect functionality.

The following diagram shows a DB2 UDB ESE configuration with four database partition servers, one per computer. Setup instructions are based on this configuration but can easily be adjusted for partitioned configurations with a fewer or greater number of computers and database partition servers.
