IDUG EMEA 2024

IBM Db2 offers a wide range of AI features, both built-in and external tools, for creating AI systems and solutions. These include over 200 built-in AI stored procedures and tools that work seamlessly with open-source AI ecosystems. In this workshop, participants will explore Db2’s AI support and use a selection of these features to implement practical AI models. The workshop consists of two parts. In the first module, participants will learn how to develop a supervised AI model using Db2’s built-in AI stored procedures. The entire model development and usage will be done using SQL within the database. In the second module, participants will learn how to create a Python model using popular Python packages outside of the database, and then deploy that model back into a Db2 database. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained fundamental skills and hands-on experience in utilizing these AI capabilities. They will be able to apply these skills to their future AI projects. This workshop is designed to be beginner-friendly and does not require participants to have extensive knowledge in AI. Basic SQL skills and some Python programming skills are sufficient for attending and benefiting from this workshop.

A secure environment while operating Db2 has become of utmost importance as the cost of cyberattack and data breach increase year by year. The purpose of this hands on lab is to provide guidance on building a secure Db2 environment with some of Db2’s latest security features. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about Db2 security services including configuring TLS, Native Encryption, Row and Column Access Control, and the Db2 Audit Facility.
