DB2 Express-C Viper test drive challenge

The DB2Viper data server provides many new capabilities including: flexible security

options, data storage optimiation, and improved support for storing, managing, and!uerying "#$ data% DB2 is designed to optimie access to "#$ and relational data and

these capabilities are available to &'', %()T, &*B*$, +ava, and - application

developers% DB2 Viper is now available .for evaluation purposes/ and this tutorial can beused to aid in understanding how to use "#$ and 01$ together to build the basis of a

flexible scheduling application%

TheDB2 Express-C Viper test drive challengeis a step by step tutorial to introduce thereader to the DB2 Viper data server on indows platforms using the "#$ storage and

searching .01$3"#$, "1uery/ capabilities available to support next generation

applications%

Introduction to DB2 Viper

DB2 Viper is the industry4s first hybrid data server for managing data from both

relational and pure "#$ formats% DB2 has been providing high performance data storageand access for relational data based on 01$ standards and data storage optimiations

such as data partitioning and advanced indexing and !uery optimiation techni!ues% (ow,

DB2 has introduced an optimied data storage engine for "#$ data alongside theexisting relational engine%

5pplication developers can now store "#$ data directly inside of a DB2 server and reapthe benefits of transactions, advanced data resiliency, secure access, and, of course, the

ability to search large amounts of "#$ data using "1uery%

"#$ data is often used for inter6application data exchange and document managementpurposes% The flexible and self6describing nature of "#$ data ma7es it ideal for many

application scenarios%

The ability to !uery "#$ data has been !uite limited% 8ecently, a new standards based

"#$ !uery language has been published% This !uery language is 7nown as "1uery

Version 9%%

"1uery Version 9% was released in (ovember 2; . http:33www%w

Getting Started with DB2 Viper

Step 1. Creating a DB2 Viper dataase

To get started, letFs create a new DB2 database% DB2 Viper supports pure "#$ data

storage and !uery for databases enabled for the C(?&*D) character set% ?n the following

steps we will create a C(?&*D) DB2 Viper database%

DB2 databases can be created using graphical tools%

The TESTdatabase is now created and ready to store "#$ and relational data%

(*T): To create the same DB2 Viper database using DB2 &$:

Step 2. Creating a DB2 tale

DB2 columns can be defined using various data types including "#$% To store "#$data in DB2 simply specify the "#$ data type for one or more columns% DB2 tables may

contain a mixture of traditional and "#$ data types% DB2 uses optimal storagetechni!ues to store and maintain "#$ data in addition to providing powerful !uery

capabilities%

?n this exercise, we will create a single table called "#$T%"T_S"&E'()ES, and it isused to trac7 basic contact information for a large number of people% The column called

S"&E'()Eis used to store each person4s schedule of activities as a single "#$document with one or more scheduled activities%

The data architect and application developer for this pro>ect decided to use "#$ to

enable a flexible infrastructure% 5ctivities are often integrated with other applications

.D5 devices and web collaboration tools/ and using a pure "#$ format for eachperson4s activities is ideal%

standard relational .?(T)I)8, &-585&T)8/ data types and a single "#$ column%

The Icolumn is also defined to be auto6generated column value and it has also been

defined as a primary 7ey for the table%

To use the DB2 )ommand Editor, launch the DB2 &ontrol &enter as described in step

9% 8ight clic7 on the TESTdatabase from the navigation tree and select 7ueryfrom thepop6up menu% The DB2 &ommand )ditor should now be open and establish a connection

The IN"!$statement can be used to store relational and "#$ data in a DB2 Viper

will use the DB2 )ommand Editorto store some initial schedules in the TESTdatabase%

(ote that supplying the "#$ data inline .as shown in $isting 2/ re!uires you to invo7e

the 3/LPA4SEfunction to convert the document from a character data type to "#$%?n this case, the input document was !uite simple% ?f the document was large or complex,

it would be impractical to type the "#$ data into the ?(0)8T statement as shown% ?n

most cases, youFd write an application to insert the data using a host variable or aparameter mar7er% -owever, since this is an introductory tutorial, we wonFt be discussing

application development topics in detail% ?nstead, weFll discuss another option for

populating DB2 "#$ columns with data 66 using the DB2 ?#*8T facility%

Step 0. ering ,) data sing S) and ,3E"4

"1uery is a new language used for !uerying "#$ data% "1uery and 01$ can be used in

the same !uery to a database as seen in the next example% ?n the next !uery, we will use a

01$3"#$ statement% The part of the !uery outside of xmlexists+,is not case sensitivebecause that part is 01$% The part of the !uery inside of xmlexists+,is case sensitive

because it is "1uery, so this statement has "1uery embedded in an 01$ statement%

The following !uery retrieves all of the attendees of the ?DCIJ event:

"'"$ GH!/ user1.c()t*ct_sc+edu,esW"!" xm,exists-AsJsc+edu,eF*ctivitDF)*meKLI;LMA #INsc+edu,e # LsL?

$isting ust inserted% The xmlexistsfunction is using an "ath expression to determine which records should be returned%

The next statement has 01$ embedded in an "1uery statement% 5ny "1uery statemenmust start with the 7eyword 37E49J% 5s usual, the part inside s!l!uery./ is an 01$

statement, so that part is not case sensitive, but the part outside of s!l!uery./ is "1uery,

so that part is case sensitive% The following !uery tells us which activity Irant -utchisonis attending on 2A6;6M:

The !uery in $isting @ returns all the activities for Irant -utchison on #ay M th, 2A% ?n

Step 5. 3sing I*&"$ to poplate DB2 tales with ,)

?f you already have your "#$ data in files, the DB2 ?#*8T command provides aconvenient method of populating your DB2 tables with relational and "#$ data% The

?#*8T command can use various import control file formats% ?n this example we will

use a delimited text file% The default delimiter for DB2 ?#*8T is the comma .N,4/, butthis can be changed% ?n this example we will use comma separated values and a special

reference techni!ue for the "#$ data for the schedulecolumn%

=ou can create the delimited 50&?? file using the text editor of your choice% )ach line in

your file represents a row of data to be imported into your table% ?f your line contains an

3/L Data Speci!ication +3DS," ?#*8T will read the "#$ data from the referenced

file% Gor example, the first line in $isting ; contains information for illiam 5dams,

including his name, title, and phone numbers%

ith your "#$ files and delimited 50&?? files available, youFre now ready to use the

DB2 ?#*8T utility% The DB2 ?#*8T commands can be used to add more data to ourexisting "#$T%"T_S"&E'()EStable%

The "1uery in $isting can be used to retrieve all of the schedules stored in the"#$T%"T_S"&E'()EStable within the S"&E'()Ecolumn% The xmlcolumn+,function re!uires that the referenced table and column names is uppercase% The output of

the !uery in $isting would be e!uivalent to the following 01$ !uery:
