The sign is positive if the value is zero or above. An eight-byte large binary integer with a precision of 19 digits. A packed-decimal number. The precision is the number of digits and can range between 1 and The scale is the number of digits to the right of the decimal point, and can range from 0 to the value specified for precision.
The position of the decimal point is determined by the precision and scale number of digits in the fractional part of the number of the number. All values of a decimal column have the same precision and scale. A floating-point number.
The precision is the number of digits, which can range between 1 and A single-precision, floating-point number is a bit approximation of a real number with a range of 1. A double-precision, floating-point number is a bit approximation of a real number with a range of 2. A four-byte binary integer. With a precision of 10 digits. A zoned-decimal number. A single-precision floating-point number. The number can be zero, and can range from A two-byte binary integer with a precision of 5 digits.
This type consists of: year, month, and day. It represents a calendar date. Year can range between and , month can range between 1 and 12, and day can range between 1 and n, which can be 28, 29, 30, or 31, depending on the value of month and year. The length of a DATE column is 10 bytes, which is the appropriate length for a character string representation of the value.
Hour can range between 0 and 24, minute can range between 0 and 59, and second can range between 0 and You must set minute and second to 0 if hour is set to The internal representation of a time is a string of 3 bytes. Each byte is two packed-decimal digits. The first byte represents the hour, the second byte the minute, and the last byte represents the second. The length of a TIME column is eight bytes, which is the appropriate length for a character representation of the value.
This type consists of: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and microsecond. It represents a calendar date and hour clock time value. The ranges of year, month, and day are the same as the date data type. The ranges for hour, minute, and second are the same as the time data type. Milliseconds can range between 0 and The first four bytes represent date, the next three bytes represent time, and the last three bytes represent microseconds. However, these data types can also be represented by character strings.
There are no constants or variables with Datetime data types. You must assign a datetime value to a character string variable, in order to retrieve it. The string representation of DATE begins with a digit and has a length of at least eight characters. Trailing blanks may be included, and you can omit leading zeroes from the month and day sections.
The string representation of a TIME starts with a digit and has a length of at least four characters. You can include trailing blanks, and a leading zero may be omitted. If you omit seconds, an implicit specification of zero seconds is assumed. And has the form: yyyy-mm-dd-hh. You can include trailing blanks, and you can omit leading zeroes from month. Day and hour and microseconds may be truncated or entirely omitted.
If you omit any trailing zeroes in microseconds, an implicit specification of 0 is applied for the missing digits. You must be logged in to post a comment. Features of DB2 The reviews for this product rank it highly for its ability to work with substantial amounts of data without reducing its performance by any means. Oracle Database Another popular option that many businesses are opting into is the highly reputable Oracle Database.
Features of Oracle Database Oracle comes with many wonderful features, such as their high quality support , scalability, and the ability to track sophisticated architecture.
Disadvantages of Oracle Database Some of the disadvantages of having Oracle as your database is, according to reviews on Gartner , that the system needs an experienced administrator at the helm in order to properly manage it.
The Future of Oracle Database Oracle has been tentatively looking into things like having algorithms embedded directly into microprocessors and integrating big data storage with the data their customers have already accumulated when installing Oracle Database. Can Oracle Database be Taken to the Cloud? I have always had better support from IBM than Oracle and that's a big deal for most folks.
As for the big difference between them I believe is the hashing algorithm each uses to do storage, retrieval, and indexing. I just like IBM better for those things. Short answer, Compared to DB2, Oracle is clear winner. Oracle is far ahead than DB2 offerings. And also ready for future. We use both databases and some more , I would definitely suggest using Oracle against DB2 for better performance but also because it's easier to find collaboration tools and find help.
Both have superior features, however in terms of price, db2 will be definitely lesser on a overall TCO. You need to define your requirements both functional and nonfunctional. What are you using the database for?
What are the business SLA requirements? How secure, large footprint , fast do you need the database to be? Also, what's your IT teams primary skill set? Is your shop primarily on-premise, in the cloud or planning to , or hybrid environment? How much do you want to spend? Oracle is the cadillac with many add-on features for a price. Even it's standard or free edition has many features depending on your needs. Both database are very stable, secure and usually perform quite well - again depending on what you are looking for.
Having said that, here is what I would advise anyone standing up databases today. Choose a cloud provider of distributed services and go with their recommendation. For an organization that is open to choosing either Oracle or IBM, I would say to choose neither unless there is an over-riding business reason.
Usually, this reason is that there is already an installed base in the company and the company is afraid to change. That is not a good reason anymore. It used to be a decent reason. An example is data storage cost. Today, data storage is close to zero cost at the best cloud providers. I have seen storage costs x in some commercial cases. What are the main features that you're looking for many were already talked about on other answers?
Do you have any requirements, like Operation System dependency? Oracle is the best relational database in the market, however it has some drawbacks in terms of price and licensing, specially when it comes to big features. It has however a free version, with most of the important features of payed database. Since it's scalable between versions as It is backward compatible with previous versions, you can always grow with it as you need.
It's architecture is also highly resistant to failure, even without highly availability features installed. And in terms of security is unbeatable. With Nagios, you generally need to rely on plug-ins and add-ons to get a wider range of features.
Many of these plugins are developed for open-source access alongside Nagios Core. These custom plugins and community add-ons are good quality but setting them all up and finding the right ones can take a lot of time. On the upside, it can help you customize your solution. Keeping all the plugins and add-ons up to date can become a lot to manage, and the application as a whole becomes less centralized and more complicated. You can download Nagios XI from the website, or try it free for up to 30 days.
It sets out the main differences in features between Db2 vs. Oracle, followed by a series of troubleshooting best practices. Admins will benefit from the use of a powerful tool for optimizing their RDBMS; my recommendation for companies of any size is SolarWinds DPA , which can be integrated with other tools to create a comprehensive solution.
Db2 vs. Monitor Infrastructure Next, make sure you regularly monitor both system and query performance. Use Tools Numerous factors could be behind database issues. Oracle and Db2 Tools A good-quality tool will allow you to keep on top of your RDBMS health, performance, and troubleshooting issues before they become a problem.
