DB2 Universal Database Personal Edition

DB2 Universal Database Personal Edition enables you to create and use local databases and to access remote databases if they are available. This product is available only for the OS/2, Windows 95, and the Windows NT operating system.

DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition

DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition (formerly known as DDCS Multi-User Gateway) provides access from clients on the network to DB2 databases residing on host systems such as MVS/ESA, OS/390, OS/400, VM, and VSE.

DB2 Connect Personal Edition

DB2 Connect Personal Edition (formerly known as DDCS Single-User) provides access from a single workstation to DB2 databases residing on host systems such as MVS/ESA, OS/390, OS/400, VM, and VSE. This product is available only for the OS/2, Windows 95, and the Windows NT operating system.

DB2 Universal Database Extended Edition

DB2 Universal Database Extended Edition (formerly known as DB2 Parallel Edition) provides the ability for a database to be partitioned across multiple independent computers of a common platform, each with its own processor(s), memory, and DASD. To the end-user and application developer, the database still appears as a single database on a single computer. This enables an application to use a database that is simply too large for a single computer to handle efficiently. SQL operations can operate in parallel on the individual database partitions, thereby speeding up the execution time of a single query.
