IBM DB2 DS Driver
• Language-Integrated Query (LINQ), is a convenient means to
execute queries against data sources, including XML, CLR objects,
DataSet objects in ADO.NET.
• The Entity Framework automatically generates lightweight .NET
classes that map to relational database structures. The Entity
Framework provides all the database-specific plumbing code that would
otherwise need to be written and maintained
• Visual Studio Integration offers Rapid Appl Development through
data modeling UI tools.

specification, and the International Standard for SQL/CLI.
• Also provides number of DB2-specific APIs which are not a part of the ODBC
standards to improve DB2 access

Client Optimization
Improve Java data access performance for DB2 – without changing a line of code
• Captures SQL for Java applications
 Custom-developed, framework-based, or packaged applications
• Bind the SQL for static execution without changing a line of code
 New bind tooling included
• Delivers static SQL execution value to existing DB2 applications
 Making response time predictable and stable by locking in the SQL access path pre-
execution, rather than re-computing at access time
 Limiting user access to tables by granting execute privileges on the query packages rather
than access privileges on the table
 Aiding forecasting accuracy and capacity planning by capturing additional workload
information based on package statistics
 Drive down CPU cycles to increase overall capability
• Choose between dynamic or static execution at deployment time,
rather than development time

statements, and loads the SQL Outline View.
 SQL Outline View Features:
 Navigate source selecting nodes in the view
 Run SQL
 Tune SQL
 Explain SQL

DB2 JSON Support

zAnalytics
24
JSON is the Language of the Web
• JavaScript Object Notation
 Lightweight data interchange format
 Specified in IETF RFC 4627
 http://www.JSON.org
• Designed to be minimal, portable, textual and a
subset of JavaScript
 Only 6 kinds of values!
 Easy to implement and easy to use
 Text format, so readable by humans and
machines
• Language independent, most languages have
features that map easily to JSON
• Used to exchange data between programs
written in all modern programming languages
{
"firstName“ : "John",
"lastName" : "Smith",
"age" : 25,
“active” : true,
“freqflyer_num : null,
"address" :
{
"streetAddress“ : "21 2nd
Street",
"city" : "New York",
"state" : "NY",
"postalCode" : "10021"
},
"phoneNumber“ :
[
{
"type" : "home",
"number“ : "212 555-1234"
},
{
"type" : “mobile",
"number“ : "646 555-4567"
}

New Era Application Requirements
• Some apps need very few database features, but need high
scale
• Desire to avoid data/schema pre-design altogether for
simple apps
• Store data from web/mobile apps in it's native form
• New web applications use JSON for storing and
 exchanging information
 Very lightweight – write more efficient apps
 It is also the preferred data format for mobile
 application back-ends
• Move from development to production in no time!
 Ability to create and deploy flexible JSON schema
 Gives power to application developers by reducing
 dependency on IT; no need to pre-determine schemas
 and create/modify tables
 Ideal for agile, rapid development and continuous integration

JSON in SQL – First Steps
Extend JSON API Building blocks for external use
New functions released in DB2 11 only
 JSON2BSON - convert JSON string into BSON format
 BSON2JSON - convert BSON LOB into JSON string
 JSON_VAL - retrieve specific value from inside a BSON
object
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE(data) VALUES (SYSTOOLS.JSON2BSON
(‘{ name: "Joe", age:28, isManager: false, jobs :[“QA”, “Developer”] } ’))
SELECT SYSTOOLS.BSON2JSON(data) FROM EMPLOYEE
UPDATE EMPLOYEE SET DATA =
SYSTOOLS.JSON2BSON('{ name: "Jane", age:18, isManager: false,
jobs :["Developer", "Team Lead"] } ')

JSONJSON
XMLXML
Both XML and JSON:
- Make schema evolution
simple in the database
- Coexist with relational data
JSON is used with human interfaces and mobile
applications and more making it straight-forward to pass
data structures back and forth
XML is typically used for data exchange or
shred between multiple parties, systems or
institutions providing the ability for 3rd
parties
to define portions of data structures
independently – e.g., banking, insurance

JSON:
1) Easy to work with
2) Smaller in size
3) Suffices for most applications

Mobile/Cloud support – Problem Statement
• Cloud and Mobile providers need a uniform way to interact with z-
based middleware for discovery, provisioning, data transformation,
and service invocation.
• Customers have expressed an interest in a common way to interact
with all z/OS business and infrastructure assets using REST and
JSON technology
 REST – Representational State Transfer … the Other use of HTTP URLs
that map to a ‘service’, such as ‘query account’ or ‘update data’
 JSON – JavaScript Object Notation … a standard of representing data as a
set of name/value pairs. This is passed back and forth along with REST
request/responses
• Ability to track and handle large spikes of new requests originating
from any number of almost instantly available clients.

Solution – Introducing z/OS Connect
• Mobile and Cloud connectivity to backend z/OS assets
• Provides a consistent way to discover and call in to application assets on
z/OS
• Runs in Liberty profile
• Uses RESTful service and JSON payloads.
• Capable of converting JSON to data format required by backend service
• No additional cost, packaged with WAS, CICS and IMS
• Java, so runs on speciality engines
• Example of invocation
 http://<hostname>:<port>/zosConnect/services/CUSTOMER_INQ?
action=invoke<JSON payload>
