Hi Dtoledano (and anyone else interested in OPTIM z/OS),

Just saw this notice about an OPTIM technical briefing (webcast) IBM's doing tomorrow and thought I'd share in case you were interested:

Query tuning for DB2® for z/OS® developers and DBAs
Thursday, November 19, 2009 @ 1:00 PM EST

Description: Better performing SQL queries lead to high performing applications and help IT professionals keep their sanity. The DB2 optimizer plus good SQL coding techniques are essential tools for DBAs and developers. This session highlights techniques for writing better SQL -- while you're in the middle of development or post production. We will show you how to tune SQL even if you code Java through a framework. Our experts will go through a few scenarios to help you understand how the Optim portfolio can help you tune SQL pre and post production. DBAs won't want to miss this either as the Query Workload Tuning capabilities are demonstrated as well.

Best,

Kim
