Synopses & Reviews
Like Part 1, this book presents DB2 from the COBOL programmer's point of view. But it gives you the advanced skills you need to become a senior analyst.
To be specific, you'll learn:
-- how to use stored procedures to reduce network overload
-- how to use dynamic SQL so your programs can generate and execute SQL statements as they run
-- how to work with distributed DB2 data, where the data is managed by a DB2 subsystem on a network
-- how to process DB2 data in CICS programs (this works in conjunction with our CICS book)
-- how data sharing works on the parallel sysplex and other S/390 configurations
-- advanced locking concepts
-- DBA skills that help you design databases, manage database objects, and set up a quality assurance environment
-- how to get information from DB2's catalog tables
-- how to get performance analysis data
