DB2 Performance Tuning: 5 Quick Wins

Ez-Learn Team · 24 Jul 2026

Small changes to indexing and SQL can dramatically cut CPU and improve response times on DB2 for z/OS.

DB2 performance often comes down to a handful of high-impact fixes.

  • Review and rebuild fragmented indexes
  • Eliminate unnecessary sorts
  • Use EXPLAIN to catch table scans
  • Tune bufferpools for your workload
  • Keep RUNSTATS current

Our DB2 DBA program covers each of these hands-on.
