DB2 is a relational database used in the transactional and informational field.
It was developed in the 1970’s by Edward S. Codd at the IBM Research Centre. In the mid-1970’s, the SQL project, enabling access to data according to a new standardized data access method, was appended to DB2. In fact, it is this data access method (SQL) that really launched the product. Today, DB2 is used in all transactional and informational environments by large financial institutions, insurance companies and manufacturing and service enterprises. Several clients who use mainframe computers are running the DB2 database on their computer system.
