DB2 Universal Database (UDB) On Line Information
This product is installed on Sparc Solaris systems accross research and 
education. We have installed DB2 V6.1 on Education and Research servers.
On NT pc's we have installed the parallel version of DB2 UDB - Extended
Enterprise Edition. 
The need for better ways to access and manipulate data has driven the 
evolution of database management systems, from simple file processing 
systems to the newest generation of relational database management
systems. In a world that seems to grow smaller every day, it's 
important to have a database that can embrace as much of that world 
as possible: a database that is truly universal. 

is:

• /cs/local/bin/Clear_ipc
• /cs/local/bin/db2
• /cs/local/bin/db2.test

To access db2, some environment variables are set. This is done 
by sourcing the $INST_HOME/sqllib/db2cshrc file if you are using 
the csh or tcsh shell. If you are using /bin/sh, then run db2profile.
You can then connect to your database.
