Leveraging DB2 9 for z/OS pureXML Technology

Tags:
mainframes

Overview Keeping pace with rapidly changing requirements is a constant challenge for organizations today. One way to meet this challenge is by storing and processing XML natively. Doing so can help enterprises improve application development productivity and quality by eliminating the time-consuming mappings and schema evolution necessary for rapidly changing requirements, thus improving time to market and significantly lowering IT costs. This paper offers an overview of pureXML technology in DB2 9 for z/OS, its business values and technical feature details. In addition, it lists the commonalities and differences of the XML functionality between DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Microsoft Windows and DB2 for z/OS.
