Query Views Are Dynamic
No persistent view index involvedEfficient DB2 indexing is usedQueries can be user specificParameterized and personalizedLookups are allowed to collect Domino data for query constructionContext can be considered when embedded

SELECT
Select only specific documentsExample: Select my personal ToDo's
Selection:="Ingo Erdmann""Select * FROM WORKFLOW.TODO
WHERE WFEDITOR = '" + Selection + "'"

Temporary Summary
Filtering can – (and should) create result sets with very few entries– reduce displayed information to relevant documents
Query views can aggregate distributed content in central placeBoth can help users to work more efficiently

Idea
Thesis: Every document needs to be discussed– Commenting– Review Cycle– Understanding
How can we discuss every document in every database we have?Solution: Add a dicussion module to every databaseThen where do I find my discussions?Dispersed over numerous databasesRequirement: Users need single point of access to all discussions of…
– documents they discuss about– documents they are interested in– documents assigned to them

Take Away
Domino is very good in handling document dataDB2 is very good in handling relational dataDon't get that mixedIn a hybrid environment, keep the result set as small as possible
– helps users to work efficient– helps DB2 to keep up performance

Summary
DB2 Access and Query views provide a variety of new featuresAllow user specific filteringAllow predefined query preferencesAllow to dramatically narrow down data setsAllow to aggregate and join data
GCC Discussion Portal allows– discussions in any document context– creates a single point of access to all discussions – can be extended to annotate documents and maintain personal ToDo's
