Been a long day at IDUG today with talks starting at 0830 till 1645 today, which is a lot to take in back to back but I will attempt to summarise and say what I have learnt quickly before I turn in for the night:
Smarter Analytics for big data – Steven Sit
Informative talk with some topics and content covered in other talks but good for reinforcement and introduction of new stuff. Things I learnt:
- Big data is about Volume, Velocity and Variety.
- It is iterative and you are probably not going to get it right first time.
- Get ready for Zettabyte!
- Learn JAQL and a whole lod of other languages for big data processing.
SQL on Fire – Serge Rielau
DB2 and Cloud computing why should I care? – Leon Katsnelson
- A US agency has managed to define what a cloud should be in a two page document.
- The cloud has use cases make sure yours is right
ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE() the new DBA’s Swiss army knife
- ADMIN_MOVE_TABLE does not have to be done all at once, and can be done in stages and equally cancelled.
- Does not move foreign keys!!
Stuffed with great enhancements DB2 9.7 FixPacks – Melanie Stofer
All kudos to Melanie she went through 60 slides in 60 mins and there is 120 in the download! A lot of information to take in and no time to make notes at the pace she went through stuff, but all very useful stuff.
The evening was good with free beer from IDUG and a trip out to the Steak house round the corner on Triton Consulting with the guys from Triton and DBI software thank you very much, very tasty and good conversation. Freebies again were good with an excellent glass from Triton and I got my Ticket for the IBM customer dinner tomorrow night, dont forget to get yours!
