Difference between db2pd tool and DB2 snapshots

DB2 snapshot command or use of the snapshot administration views or SQL table snapshot functions require latches and use of engine resources to return the information but db2pd tool does not require those latches etc to return the information. You should use db2pd tool as it is non-obtrusive compared to db2 snapshot command.
