As a DBA it is important to closely manage your space usage and understand the benefits that DB2’s architecture provides.

In this short video, Toad for DB2 development manager, Jeff Podlasek, demonstrates how Toad for DB2 allows you to quickly analyze partition balancing, compression and storage group usage.
