Toad for IBM DB2 v6.0 What’s New – Part I
• Did you know that Toad recently got a face
lift? We’ve streamlined it and removed all of
those icon bars that used to clutter up the
screen so now they only appear when you
need them.
• How do you know when you are going to run
out of space or if you need to make new
storage purchases?
• How do you keep track of the differences
between the database objects in production vs
pre-production? Is keeping those in sync a task
you do often?.
BenefitFeature
New User Interface
This makes Toad easier to use and allows users to find key functionality faster. Icon toolbars open in
context and only when that tool is being used, reducing screen clutter. For example, the toolbar for the
SQL Editor will only be displayed while the user is working in the SQL Editor otherwise it is “hidden” from
view.

Predictive Space Growth Report
Users can now predict how much size and space their objects will need. Users control this view by date or
by size limit so you can predict how large an object will be on a given date or the date when an object will
reach a certain size.
Object Compare & Sync
Object compare now fully replaces the old Schema Compare. Users can still do a full compare at the
schema level but they will use Toad’s object compare instead. This adds a lot more flexibility in what can be
compared and what to ignore when doing the comparison.
These are the top new features and benefits in Toad for IBM DB3 v6.0

4. 4
Toad for IBM DB2 v6.0 What’s New – Part II
• Do you have pureScale? How do you keep
track of what’s happening in your pureScale
environment? How do you know when to add
another node or if you have too many defined?
• What do you use to find out activity on a
production table? For example, if you need to
know how often it’s being read or getting
updated? Would this be useful information?
• Do you have any third party applications that
do not allow you to rewrite the SQL? Does
simply rewriting the SQL not yield the
performance improvement you need? Well
now SQL Optimizer allows you the ability to
apply indexes as a way to improve
performance when rewrites are out of the
question or not providing the performance
improvements you are looking for.
BenefitFeature
4 DB2 pureScale Monitor
Provides a quick “monitor” view of the health of their pureScale nodes.

5 DB2 LUW Real-Time Statistics
This new tab has been added to the database viewer to provide live statistics for tables, indexes and
tablespaces. For example, for tables, Toad will show how many rows have been read and/or updated. This
has been a part of Toad for DB2 z/OS but we’ve now added this feature for LUW.
6 SQL Optimizer for DB2 z/OS Index Impact Analysis and Recommendations
SQL Optimizer for IBM DB2 z/OS now is more full featured similar to our Oracle and LUW editions. SQL
Optimizer’s index recommendation feature can determine if adding indexes will improve the performance
for a single SQL statement. SQL Optimizer will generate some virtual indexes for the SQL statement to see if
adding some real indexes will make the statement run faster. This is done without impacting database
performance. This Provides DBAs more options for tuning complex SQL
