Best DB2 Tools????

[Voul Pa]

I d like to know which are the best DB2 tools for Rapid Application
Development. I am interested in something resembling SQL Server's
Enterprise Manager and Query Analyser. Does IBM have such tools and if
so which are those?
We are running an as400 system with DB2 and are currently programmin
using RPG. We would prefer to move to a grafical environment.

Thank you

If you want enterprise tools, check out the products at
[url]http://www.embarcadero.com/[/url]. The products are pricey, but they support
quite a few databases and are excellent quality.

If you want a query tool check out WinSQL at
[url]http://www.synametrics.com[/url]. The Lite edition is free, and it looks
very much like SQL Server's query analyser from version 6.5.

You could also check out Advanced Query Tool at
[url]http://www.querytool.com/[/url] At $100 it is a lot cheaper than the
Embarcadero products, and has a lot more function than WinSQL.
