  • Treasury Of New DB2 6.1 Features, Part 1: Query Enhancements

    February 4, 2009 Michael Sansoterra

    Once again I am happy to report that IBM has provided us with a wealth of enhancements to DB2 in this monumental V6R1 release. Incidentally, in case you haven’t heard, IBM is now calling our favorite database by the name DB2 for i (formerly known as DB2/400 and DB2 UDB for iSeries) and our favorite OS is called IBM i version 6.1. Now without further ado, I’ll start to rattle off some query enhancements offered in this release.

    VALUES in SELECT

    The VALUES clause can now be placed within the FROM clause of a SELECT statement or as a derived table result in a FULLSELECT. This means that you can hard-code one or more rows of values to be returned as a table within an SQL statement. Here is a sample SELECT that returns one column with five rows:

    Select *
      From (Values(1),(2),(3),(4),(5)) As Counter_Table (RowNo)
    

    The statement returns the following results:

    RowNo

    1

    2

    3

    4

    5

    With COVID-19 wreaking havoc, cybercriminals are taking advantage of the global impact that it has had on our families, our businesses and our societies. It is more important now than ever to ensure that IT systems are protected, so that when all of this is behind us, we can get back to business as usual as quickly as possible.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware protects organizations against ransomware attacks and other kinds of malware that may access and change business-critical data on your IBM i. It even protects against zero-day attacks. Anti-Viruses can only report on the damage an attack has caused, but not stop it.

    iSecurity Anti-Ransomware has been recently enhanced with a Self-Test feature that allows you to simulate a ransomware attack on your IBM i. The simulated attack is limited to the test folder and cannot harm any other folders or files. This new feature lets organizations see how they are protected against known or unknown ransomware.

    Key Features:

    • Real-time scanning for known and unknown ransomware threats.
    • Blocks and disconnects the intruder.
    • Instantaneously sends alerts to SIEM as well as the offending computer.
    • Self-Test for attack simulation
    • Classification of the attack based on log.
    • Automatic updates with the most current ransomware definitions.
