Reader Reviews
I have had a long experience with DB2, albeit in MVS platform but this book provided a useful insight into the workings of DB2 for Common Servers. As I am readying myself to get the DB2 certification, this book lifted my comfort level more than a couple of notches and the fog of hesitation and fright that seemed to hinder my journey on the road to exam has transformed into a bright and sunny path. If you are not aiming for IBM DB2 certification, please do not be misled by the authors' claims that the book is also an excellent reference material for DB2 Common Servers, which it is not. It just serves as a good study guide - 'good' being the operative word. The absence of any competitive product and the prohibitive cost of IBM sponsored / conducted classes on the subject make this book an easy winner. The CD-ROM that accompanies this book is filled with ready-to-use goodies, including a DB2 Single-User product. The flip side is that you can use these only for a limited time. (Not all things in life are free, are they?).
