No specific background is needed; interest in data representation and encoding is of course an advantage!
Peter Vanroose.
1 evening (2 hours).
This evening session is one in a series of six where we will bring you up-to-date on some selected topics related to DB2 for z/OS. The individual sessions can be followed independently, or you may sign up for the full series.
This session will even be interesting for non-DB2-specialists since not only will you be informed of DB2 v8's new support for Unicode: more importantly, you will learn about the problems that Unicode claims to solve, how it is able to indeed do so, and what UTF-8 has to do with it. Implications on applications and database maintenance of switching to Unicode will also be discussed.
To be announced.
