title: DB2 SYSIBM.SYSTABLES vs SYSCAT.TABLES
body: <p>I'm using DB2 v9 LUW. I was wondering what the difference is between querying </p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM SYSIBM.SYSTABLES
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>vs</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM SYSCAT.TABLES
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is one preferred over the other?</p>
