What do you like best about the product?
I have used IBM DB2 for around 5 years for one of my legacy projects I was working on. Even though we have millions of records terabytes of data. The database was performing well. There is provision of vacuum for faster query performance and reindexing of whole database would also increase performance. There were no chances of it went down due to technical error. It provides a Linux interface allow technical people like me to use it Easly. I would definitely recommend it to others.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't find any such things to dislike in it.
