db2 overview

[j2willi4]

hello... I am new to db2 and am trying to understand its general structure... (How does IBM term the structure... is an instance of db2 one database with many tablespaces / tables... sort of like oracle... or is it more like SQL server with many dbs in one instance with many tables per db?

I haven't been able to find any useful diagrams outlining its structure... Does anyone know of something like this for db2?
