This IBM Redbook, in the format of a presentation guide, describes the changes introduced to-date in DB2 UDB Server for OS/390 Version 6 (DB2 V6 throughout the book) since its general availability in June 1999. Several enhancements have been provided through service in order to meet the increasing demands of customers and vendors for new functions. These enhancements are planned to be consolidated and integrated in a code refresh level available in May 2000.

Since general availability of DB2 Version 6, more information has been provided on DB2 functions with white papers or performance reports. This book also includes recent performance and usage considerations not strictly related to the refresh level enhancements, but generally applicable to DB2 V6.
