Why teams connect IBM Db2 and Starburst Enterprise

Connect IBM Db2 and Starburst Enterprise with one live, two-way sync: operational rows flow into the warehouse, and computed results flow back where systems can read them fast.

Operational databases and analytical warehouses want the same data at different moments. Analysts want IBM Db2's rows in Starburst Enterprise, current and joinable, without a change-data-capture pipeline to maintain. Engineers want the outputs of warehouse work, such as aggregates, features, and segments, available in IBM Db2 where the services that read from it get them at normal query latency.

Stacksync covers both directions with one connection. Tables or collections in IBM Db2 sync into Starburst Enterprise in real time, and result tables in Starburst Enterprise sync back into IBM Db2, with schema and type mapping between the two systems handled for you.

Common use cases

  • 01 Write curated or reconciled results back to lakehouse tables through connectors that support inserts
  • 02 Read federated views that join warehouse, lake, and database tables, then sync the result into operational tools like a CRM
  • 03 Feed changes captured from Db2 logs into downstream event pipelines.
  • 04 Expose Db2 records that back core business systems to a CRM so sales and support see order or account state.

Common sync patterns

Fresh analytics without loading windows

Because changes stream continuously, analysts query current data instead of waiting for last night's load.

Offload heavy reads

Point analytical queries at the synced copy in Starburst Enterprise and keep IBM Db2 focused on its operational workload.

Operational data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Rows from IBM Db2 land in Starburst Enterprise as they change, replacing hand-built CDC and batch extract jobs.

What you can sync between IBM Db2 and Starburst Enterprise

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

IBM Db2 objects Starburst Enterprise objects How this pairing syncs
Schemas Namespaces separating synced data from application and system objects. Schemas Namespaces within a catalog, mirroring the underlying source's databases or schemas. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Tables Primary read/write target for syncing rows with SaaS systems or other databases. Tables Queryable relations; writes pass through to sources whose connectors support them. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Views Read-only projections often used to expose curated slices to a sync. Views Engine-level SQL views used to shape federated data before syncing it out. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Indexes Support fast key lookups on sync match columns. Columns Typed per the Trino type system, mapped from each source's native types. Indexes is specific to IBM Db2 and Columns to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Stored Procedures Existing business logic sometimes invoked as part of write paths. Catalogs Each catalog maps to a connector (Iceberg, Hive, PostgreSQL, and others) exposing an external source. Stored Procedures is specific to IBM Db2 and Catalogs to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sequences ID generation relevant when external systems insert rows. Materialized views Precomputed results that make repeated sync reads cheaper. Sequences is specific to IBM Db2 and Materialized views to Starburst Enterprise — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between IBM Db2 and Starburst Enterprise

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

IBM Db2 Starburst Enterprise Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in IBM Db2 are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC through IBM's replication tooling where licensed.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Starburst Enterprise as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Starburst Enterprise IBM Db2 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Starburst Enterprise for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Query-based polling.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to IBM Db2 as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • IBM Db2: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by instance resources and workload management settings.
  • Starburst Enterprise: Throughput is governed by cluster sizing and resource groups rather than API quotas.
