- Server Explorer: The IBM Explorer provides the same look and feel as the Visual Studio server explorer, enabling catalog access and rapid .NET application development using drag-and-drop functionality.
- SQL Wizards: Wizards allows for the creation of new server-side tables, views, indexes, triggers, procedures, and functions from either the Solution Explorer or the Server Explorer.
- SQL Editor: The built-in Visual Studio text editor provides native support for DB2 SQL scripts having "intelisense" and syntax colorization as well as advanced script options.
- SQL Debugger: The built-in Visual Studio debugger provides debugging support for DB2 SQL routines, allowing for source level debugging of cross-platform SQL stored procedures as part of the DB2 database project.
- Dynamic Help: The Visual Studio context-sensitive help has been extended to provide online help for the DB2 .NET managed provider and the Visual Studio AD tools.
- DB2 Tools Toolbar: The various DB2 development and administration centers may be launched directly from the Visual Studio IDE using the DB2 Tools toolbar.
