S upport vs. v E xploit Be careful when reviewing DB2 tool vendor s release specifications. Some vendors specifically differentiate between supporting and exploiting a new DB2 version or release. Software that supports a new release will continue to function the same as before DB2 was upgraded, but with no new capabilities. So, if a DB2 tool, supports a new version of DB2, it can provide all of the services it did for the past release, as long as none of the new features of the new version of DB2 are used. A DB2 tool that exploits a new version provides the requisite functionality to operate on the new features of the new version of DB2. So, to use a concrete example, IBM added support for hashing in Version 10 of DB2. A tool can support DB2 Version 10 without operating on hashed data, but it must operate on hashes to exploit DB2 Version 10. Be sure to understand the difference between supporting and exploiting a new version, as well as your vendor s exploitation schedule, before proceeding with your DB2 tool implementation.
