SAS and IBM have had a long-standing relationship that represents a true win-win for both companies. By coordinating the development of DB2 8.1 and SAS®9, IBM and SAS are allowing customers to take advantage of enhancements to both systems. This paper explores the impact of SAS and DB2 configuration options by outlining different methods of accessing your DB2 database with a focus on performance. Examples are given to highlight the performance trade-offs of choosing different access methods, SAS®9 application parameters, and DB2 8.1 configuration options. In addition, this paper highlights some of the new features in SAS®9 and DB2 8.1.
