DB2 is one of IBM's families of relational database management system (RDBMS) software products within IBM's broader Information Management Software line. Although there are different "editions" and "versions" of DB2 which run on devices ranging from handhelds to mainframes, most often DB2 refers to DB2 Enterprise Server Edition or the top-of-the-line DB2 Data Warehouse Edition (DB2 DWE), which runs on Unix (AIX), Windows or Linux servers; or DB2 for z/OS. Alongside DB2 is another RDBMS: Informix, which was acquired by IBM in 2001

DB2 can be administered from either the command-line or a GUI. The command-line interface requires more knowledge of the product but can be more easily scripted and automated. The GUI is a multi-platform Java client that contains a variety of wizards suitable for novice users. DB2 supports both SQL and XQuery. DB2 has native implementation of XML data storage, where XML data is stored as XML(not as relational data or CLOB data) for faster access using XQuery.

DB2 has APIs for .NET CLI, Java, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, C++, C, REXX, PL/I, COBOL, RPG, FORTRAN, and many other programming languages. DB2 also supports integration into the Eclipse and Visual Studio .NET integrated development environments.
