1.3. DB2 UDB Editions
DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (sometimes referred to as LUW) is developed using the C/C++ language; more than ninety percent of the code is common among these platforms. The remaining code is unique to take full advantage of the underlying platform architecture; however, the database functionality on all of these platforms is the same.
Like any other C/C++ application, DB2 is written in separate modules—.c/.C source files—that have been separately compiled to obtain object files (.o files). These object files are later linked to obtain an executable file. Figure 1.3 shows a simplified view of how each edition is built.
