What is the difference between db2 and ims

Since Db2 is a relational database, once you learn Db2 or another relational database, those skills translate well across the others, like Db2, Oracle and SQL Server.

By migrating off IMS and onto Db2, there is only one database product to maintain and support. See how to offload, accelerate and lower cost of your mainframe to maximize its value.

Mainframers with Db2 skills can easily use those skills in other relational database environments. So, the trend is definitely moving away from IMS and toward Db2. Syncsort Optimize IMS software helps consolidate database activities to one database and it becomes part of a low risk migration strategy for the customer to get an IMS database into a relational model for Db2. You use Syncsort Optimize IMS as part of a stepping stone approach to application modernization, first migrating data, then applications programs, a little bit at a time to minimize risk of service interruption.

The Florida Department of Corrections, the third largest correctional system in the U. The department of corrections has to undergo constant changes due to legislative mandates, court orders, and user requests, such as workers needing better ways to track offenders, including inmates and parolees. In IMS, changes are too slow. The department of corrections needed to move to Db2 so that they could make all of these changes quickly and safely.

Now all future development can be done using existing program calls. Db2 makes it easier to access the data due to the hierarchical way data has to be accessed in IMS.

Re: Difference between db2 and imsdb by dick scherrer » Mon Oct 08, am Hello and welcome to the forum, Even though this forum is for students and other beginners, there is still the expectation that people who have questions will follow our rather basic rules.

Before asking any more "unanswereable" questions, you really need to do a lot of reading or attend some introductory training. All 3 of your "differences" questions are much worse than comparing apples and oranges. These are not questions with actually usable answers. When you learn more about what it is you want to learn, post back and someone should be able to clarify.
