Reader Reviews
Don's "A Complete Guide..." is both, TOP-SHELF; and a CARRY-ON ITEM (wgth:28.35ozs, 1,347grams). Don and his editorial team have achieved an enjoyable; comprehensive; and succinct treatment of DB2/UDB in a mere 767 pages. More than just a great guide, Don gives us glorious insights into our burgeonning world of multi-Domain Enterprise Servers, --so anyone involved in learning more about the "Open" approach will enjoy it. The Table of Contents reads as a Primary-Menu to the evolving family of DB2 system products and provides very nice gleanings of the emerging SQL3 forward posture. DB2 professionals will likely be packing their own personalized-annotated copies along with their lap-tops and backup tooth brushes.
