As developers modernize their iSeries solutions, it's easy to focus on application development languages and tools. However, there are many DB2 UDB for iSeries features, such as DB2 web services, that can play a key role in modernizing the architecture of your solution. Database modernization can range from utilizing existing iSeries programs as stored procedures to embedding business logic into your database with the usage of triggers and databases. Migrating from native, record-level access to SQL-based data access is another way to modernize from a DB2 perspective. In this session, you will learn about the DB2 features available to help with the modernization of your solution as well as a comparison of SQL and Native interfaces.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Understand the differences between SQL & DDS objects.
2. Be able to move business logic into DB2 instead of writing application code.
3. Understand the performance differences between SQL & Native I/ O programming interfaces.
