Monitor DB2 with the Technology Explorer

Technology Explorer for IBM DB2 is a nifty and light-weight monitoring console written in PHP. It's a fast and modern way to take a look at a database's internals and get a very specific idea of how things are. For example, it presents tablespace details in an accessible way.



It includes wizards and tutorials that simplify common tasks. At 1.7MB, it has a lot of value and power.

You'll need Apache and PHP with the ibm_db2 extension. A simple way to get all of the above is to [follow these steps].

What are you working on with DB2?

I just created an informal round-robin forum thread to see what everyone is working on with DB2 Express-C. It's an exercise in community participation, if you will. Myself, I put together... ah, but you have to read the thread.;-)
