DB2 Server Product Information

The DB2 Server is a relational database management system containing functions and tools that enable users to create, update, control and manage relational databases using Structured Query Language (SQL). The DB2 Server is a true client/server database, supporting autonomous clients that do not need to know the physical location of the database. The processing of applications is split between the database server and the client machines. These clients may be DOS, Windows, Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh, OS/2, and UNIX-based, as well as DRDA application requesters, such as MVS, VM and OS/400.
