The DB2 Web Query node is storage space for data or information, and allows you to use Developer Workbench to administer and develop against a Web Query environment. The DB2 Web Query node lets you manage resources and applications on remote servers, as well as on your local machine if you have performed a full installation of Developer Workbench. You can create and edit application files on all remote servers from one easily accessible interface. You can also create and administer reports from a Windows application rather than a web browser.
