B13 | Db2: What Used to Take You Days, I Do in Minutes (and I’ll Show You How)

Wednesday August 19, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am ADT

Oceania

In many scenarios, we need to recreate tables containing large volumes of data, multiple indexes, foreign keys, and other constraints. This process requires carefully crafted scripts to meet all requirements while preserving high availability in the environment. This session proposes to showcase a set of SQL mechanisms I’ve developed over more than 10 years working with Db2. These scripts automate and dramatically accelerate the generation of all required statements—turning tasks that once took days into activities completed in just a few hours or even minutes, with full traceability and control over every action executed.

WK01 | Workshop: Part 1 - Db2 z/OS Housekeeping Best Practices

Wednesday August 19, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am ADT

Americas

In the world of Db2 for z/OS, "set it and forget it" is a recipe for performance degradation and wasted storage. As data volumes explode and batch windows shrink, traditional housekeeping—REORG, RUNSTATS, and IMAGE COPY—must evolve from manual chores into a streamlined, automated strategy. This deep-dive workshop (not a hands-on lab) provides a comprehensive blueprint for modern Db2 maintenance. We will move past the basics to explore how to balance object availability with optimal performance. Attendees will learn how to leverage the latest utility enhancements to reduce CPU consumption, manage multi-terabyte objects, and ensure that the optimizer always has the "ground truth" through intelligent statistics collection.

WK02 | Hands-On Lab (BYOD): Part 1 - Building Production-Ready AI Applications with IBM Db2

Wednesday August 19, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am ADT

Asia

Production-ready AI applications don't happen by accident. They require well-architected, scalable, and maintainable data and AI pipelines. In this hands-on workshop, participants will build the two pipelines that most production AI applications depend on, using IBM Db2's modern AI stack, covering native vector storage, approximate vector indexing, and built-in integration with external AI models.

Participants will first build a Data Ingestion Pipeline that loads, processes, and transforms source content into searchable vectors, leveraging external AI models registered and called directly through Db2. They will then build a Search and Retrieval Pipeline that finds the most relevant data for any given query using Db2's native vector search capabilities, and delivers the most relevant results back to the application accurately and efficiently.

DBAs will recognize familiar ground here. The same principles that make a great database — performance, scalability, security, and maintainability — are exactly what separate a production AI application from a proof of concept. For AI engineers and application builders, this workshop offers something equally valuable: a solid, enterprise-grade data foundation that eliminates the complexity of managing separate vector stores and AI infrastructure, so they can focus on building intelligent applications faster.

Participants leave with hands-on coding experience building production-grade pipelines, along with the practical knowledge to tune for performance, scale for large workloads, and maintain AI applications with confidence over time.

Familiarity with SQL and basic database concepts is all that is needed.

A16 | Strengthen Your Cyber IBM Z and Db2 for z/OS Resilience

Wednesday August 19, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm ADT

Auditorium

In today’s digital landscape, cyber resilience isn’t optional — it’s essential. This session will concentrate on a consistent repeatable Cyber Recovery process that significantly improves Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO).

The IBM Z Cyber Vault solution creates immutable, point-in-time copies of your production data, stored in a secure, isolated environment on IBM Storage. This clean, protected copy becomes your safety net in the event of logical data corruption — enabling forensic, surgical, or full recovery options when you need them most. But what about Db2 for z/OS? Traditional backup recovery might leave your business hours — or even days — behind. Implementing additional steps and processes will bridge the gap between your last Safeguarded Copy backup and the point of corruption, helping you recover consistently with minimal data loss and reducing your RTO to resume business operations.

B16 | Build Db2 Applications Without Leaving VS Code: A Tour of the Db2 Developer Extension

Wednesday August 19, 2026 2:00pm - 3:00pm ADT

Oceania

If you build applications on IBM Db2, you likely live in VS Code. Your code, source control, and AI assistants are already there. Your database work, however, often happens in a separate tool, which means switching back and forth to inspect tables, write queries, and check results. Each switch breaks your focus, and the cost adds up.

The IBM Db2 Developer Extension for VS Code brings your Db2 work into the same editor. From one window, you can create a free Db2 Community Edition instance with a sample database, save connection profiles for different databases, browse tables and other objects, write SQL with auto-complete and error checking, and run queries to view or export the results.

In this talk, you will see a tour of the extension and learn the thinking behind each feature. By the end, you will know how to use Db2 in your own projects without leaving VS Code.

What you'll learn:
• How to create a free Db2 Community Edition instance with a sample database from inside VS Code
• How to save and reuse connection profiles across projects
• How to write SQL faster with auto-complete and error checking
• How to run queries and view or export the results inside VS Code

Experience the new features of SQL Data Insights Pro, including unstructured text support, model training offloading to IDAA, and incremental retraining. SQL Data Insights Pro combines unsupervised deep learning with traditional SQL queries, allowing you to run similarity, dissimilarity, clustering, analogy, and commonality AI queries on your Db2 for z/OS data.

In this hands-on lab, learn how to train models using both structured and unstructured data to gain deeper insights from your enterprise data. With the new option to run model training on IDAA, you gain greater flexibility while saving valuable system resources. You will also learn how incremental retraining can save time and resources when updating models with new data.

With these capabilities, you can uncover hidden relationships across tables and views in your Db2 data, quickly gain actionable insights to address business problems as they arise, and confidently make better business decisions. In this lab, you will see how AI SQL queries can be applied to industry-specific domains to identify similarities, segment customers, and detect outliers within relational data.

Please bring your laptop and have your IBM ID ready to access the hands-on lab.
