Performance Tuning LOBs in a Transaction Processing Environment

Krafick_HeadshotEach Monday, I post a technical blog on DB2Commerce.com referencing my “DB2’s Got Talent” presentation from the previous week.

However, my topic for Episode 131 “Sit. Stay. Good LOB. Domesticating your LOBs” was based off my first developerWorks article which was published on the same day. Instead of reinventing the wheel with an abbreviated article, I would like to point you to the developerWorks article – Taming LOBs in a transaction processing environment: A case study.

I also will mention that I will be presenting two sessions at the 2014 IDUG Technical Conference this year. One session will be a joint presentation with Ember Crooks, “D10 – High Availability Two Step: HADR and Power-HA(HACMP) (DB2 for LUW – II)”. My second presentation will be on LOBs specifically, “D05 – Attack of the Blob! (Managing BLOBs within a DB2 database) (DB2 for LUW – II)”.

Finally, I am asking for your vote one more time. I have been blessed enough to make it very deep into the finals with your help and support. I encourage you to watch the replay or read the developerWorks article and vote for me. Ken had a strong presentation as well and may be a good secondary vote.
