What Is DB2 for z/OS?

Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS) Data base consists of tables
Simple concepts Dynamic relationships High level

Structured query language (SQL)

Data Manipulation Language (DML) Data Definition Language (DDL) Data Control Language (DCL)

User specifies WHAT not HOW

RDBMS facilities

Integrity Dynamic definition of DB2 objects Active catalog Recovery / restart Continuous operations Security Interactive tools
