of these tools are deprecated (that is, they are still supported but no longer enhanced) in<br />
favor of IBM Data Studio. IBM Data Studio is provided as a separate package not included<br />
<strong>with</strong> DB2. Refer to the ebook <strong>Getting</strong> started <strong>with</strong> IBM Data Studio for DB2 for more details.<br />
