The databases written in Java all work on the (no additional charge) IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS. Consequently they exploit zIIPs if available on your system. Examples include Apache Derby, H2, and HSQLDB. https://db.apache.org/derby/ https://www.h2database.com https://hsqldb.org I think the IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python on z/OS includes SQLite as part of the package — but please double check that. Python was added to the base z/OS operating system last year, so you get it when you get z/OS. (Although it's bypassable.) If you haven't gotten your z/OS product image recently you can get the IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Python on z/OS on its own at no additional charge. https://www.ibm.com/products/open-enterprise-python-zos ————— Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM Z/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
