notes by Dan...live from IDUG Europe 2008! We got some special guests together, went to my room, and busted out a podcast. Our featured guest was our favorite podcast bitch Kurt Struyf with his
extensive knowledge and testing of table controlled partitioning. Our other guests include Den Jenson from IBM, Gerald Pfeiffer from Trilog, and Claude Birtz from Centre Informatique de l'Etat in
Luxembourg who brought us a very fine wine from his homeland. The music beds are No One's Gonna Love You by Band of Horses, Lost by Cold Play, and Trouble Maker by Weezer.

notes by Dan...one night in downtown Oslo, Norway we got into a fight at a bar about when and how exactly people do the three R's (RUNSTATS, REORG, REBIND). We decided to take the discussion to the
airwaves! We're drinking some rose' wine of unknown origin in a small hotel in Oslo. Song beds include I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jett, Fat Bottom Girls by Queen, and Pretty Flowers by

notes by Dan...Locking helps assure that the database objects will be updated with consistency and integrity, and this is a very good thing. However, locking can reduce concurrency, and the higher
the volume of transactions we pump through, a greater the level of concurrency is required. How can we possibly increase our concurrency by eliminating locks without losing the consistency and

notes by Dan...Locking helps assure that the database objects will be updated with consistency and integrity, and this is a very good thing. However, locking can reduce concurrency, and the higher
the volume of transactions we pump through, a greater the level of concurrency is required. How can we possibly increase our concurrency by eliminating locks without losing the consistency and
integrity? Enter optimistic locking. This podcast explains optimistic locking in detail, and how you can use it in DB2 for z/OS version 8 and 9. We are once again in Baltimore, and once again
drinking Axios. This time, however, we're listening to Japanese noise band Melt Banana.

notes by Dan...In this podcast from Baltimore we attempt to give people a good detailed strong introduction to DB2 EXPLAIN. The EXPLAIN facility allows you to externalize DB2 access path information.
We cover how to do an EXPLAIN, the way to view EXPLAIN information, the critical EXPLAIN tables, and important EXPLAIN columns. We point you to where you can get all of the important information to
get you going with EXPLAIN and start using it to tune your queries! We are drinking Axios wine. The music beds are Light Up by Styx, Sushi Girl by The Tubes, and 27 Jennifers by Mike Doughty. I can't
stop laughing hysterically at my dramatic introduction. Light up and listen in, and also check out all the associated downloads and links below!

notes by Dan...This podcast finds us in San Jose, California with special Guest Peggy Zagelow of IBM. We talk about some very interesting issues surrounding stored proceudres. We are drinking many
bottles of wine at Peggy's house. I was drunk and did not record the podcast on the first try, and so this is actually the second attempt at recording that night. I forgot to take pictures so I
scraped a picture from Peggy's MySpace page, and also took a picture of Susan and Annie bowling in Baltimore. The song beds include You've Got Another Thing Coming by Judas Priest, Bad Habit by The
Offspring, and Dread and the Fugitive Mind by Megadeath.
