IBM’s Database 2 (DB2) relational database management system (DBMS) shipped in the early 1980s and drove billons of dollars of revenue to IBM and other firms within a decade of its debut. The product spawned a wealth of add-on tools, shaped the future of mainframe computing, and provided independent software vendors with a strong, reliable, and scalable platform for mission-critical applications. Today, DB2 spans multiple operating systems and is widely deployed across a broad spectrum of industries. In this paper, we explore the beginnings of DB2 and trace its rise to prominence.
