<h1 class="topictitle1">Database distribution</h1>
<div><p><span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> Multisystem</span>, a separately
priced feature, provides a simple and direct method of distributing a database
file over multiple systems in a loosely-coupled environment.</p>
<p><span class="keyword">DB2 Multisystem</span> allows users
on distributed <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> systems
real-time query and update access to a distributed database as if it existed
totally on their particular system. <span class="keyword">DB2 Multisystem</span> places
new records on the appropriate system based on a user-defined key field or
fields. <span class="keyword">DB2 Multisystem</span> chooses
a system on the basis of either a system-supplied or user-defined hashing
algorithm.</p>
<p>Query performance is improved by a factor approaching the number of nodes
in the environment. For example, a query against a database distributed over
four systems runs in approximately one quarter of the time. However, performance
can vary greatly when queries involve joins and grouping. Performance is also
influenced by the balance of the data across the multiple nodes. Multisystem
runs the query on each system concurrently. <span class="keyword">DB2 Multisystem</span> can
significantly reduce query time on very large databases. </p>
