Chapter 1 – Introduction to <strong>pureQuery</strong> 29<br />

1.1.2 What do we mean by platform?<br />

IBM calls <strong>pureQuery</strong> a “platform” because it seems to be the best word to express the<br />

vision of <strong>pureQuery</strong> as a technology that spans the data management lifecycle. In other<br />

words, there are aspects of <strong>pureQuery</strong> that are embedded in design, development, test,<br />

deployment, monitoring, and optimization. (For more information about how IBM defines<br />

the data management lifecycle, see the e-book <strong>Getting</strong> Started with Data Studio for DB2.)<br />

<strong>pureQuery</strong> consists of the facets shown in Figure 1.1, which can be used as needed for<br />

any particular project or task and which are delivered in specific products related to those<br />

tasks.<br />

• Application programming interfaces (APIs), built for ease of use and for<br />

simplifying the use of best practices for enhanced database performance when<br />

using Java.<br />

• A runtime, which provides optimized and secure database access<br />

• An Eclipse-based integrated database development environment (IDE) for<br />

enhancing development productivity, improving data access performance during<br />

development, and improving collaboration between developers and DBAs<br />

• Monitoring services, to provide developers and DBAs with previously unknown<br />

insights about performance of Java and CLI database applications.
