DB2 Version 2 extends the industrial-strength technology of DB2 on MVS, VM, VSE, and OS/400 platforms to the client/server environment, giving you equivalent server function on DB2 for Solaris and other popular platforms. That's why we call it DB2 Common Server!

DB2 Common Server includes an industry-leading optimizer that selects the fastest route to your data. And powerful built-in functions to develop applications with audio, video, images, and documents.

Now there is DB2 for everyone. From the largest corporation to the smallest workgroup to the individual user.
