Is there any advantage to denormalizing DB2 tables?..

Answer / s

Yes denormalization is done performance reasons.
Normalization will keep the related data in separate
tables. In order to get the data from the tables, DB2 uses
JOIN which could be resource intensive depending on the
number of tables used in the join and the size of the table.
