Is DB2 for i “optimized” for SAP?
Yes. For many years, there has been a joint development team between DB2 for i and SAP. In addition to this joint team, the SAP and DB2 development teams work very closely together through a single IBM focal point, ensuring requirements from SAP are translated into compatible features across our DB2 portfolio. This ensures that requirements that are implemented in DB2 for Linux/Unix/Windows will be implemented in a consistent manner in DB2 for i and vice versa.
