Book Description

Publication Date: January 1999 | Series: DB2 for the COBOL Programmer
This is the only advanced DB2 book written specifically for COBOL programmers! Now, in this Second Edition, it's been completely revised to reflect the mix of programming and DBA skills you need to be a top senior programmer or programmer/analyst in today's DB2/COBOL shop.

That means you'll learn how to use stored procedures that move SQL code off of the client and onto the database server to reduce network overhead. How to use dynamic SQL so your programs can generate and execute SQL statements as they run. How to process DB2 data in CICS programs. How to work with distributed DB2 data, where the data is managed by a DB2 subsystem on a system that's connected over a network. How data sharing works on the parallel sysplex and other System/390 configurations. Advanced locking concepts that let you understand how locking and data sharing affect each other and what impact that has on program efficiency. The concepts and practices of DB2 database administration that let you design databases, manage database objects, and set up a quality assurance environment.

So don't wait to rise to a new level of DB2 programming. Get a copy of this book TODAY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to advance your DB2/SQL skills? A "MUST HAVE"! Mar 12 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Buy this book!!! Some computer books are written by computer geeks who know
their technical stuff cold. They can't teach worth a darn, but they are
deep technical wizards who are highly versed in techno-babble. The worst
part of it usually is, they aren't even aware when they are babbling their
techno-nonsense!!! The people who wrote the Murach series are NOT (let me
repeat, the Murach folks are NOT) such people. It was the most amazing
experience to have read this book, and to have had the feeling that either
Curtis Garvin or Anne Prince were looking directly over my shoulder
anticipating the various questions that inevitably arose. This book is
incredibly well structured. It is written clearly, concisely, and with
relevant in-depth examples. The authors take pains to ensure that they
present their programming examples without (WITHOUT!!!) falling into the
trap of disjointed techno-babble so common to such books. Again, you get
more than your money's worth with this book. Buy it, and recommend it to
anyone else who wants to learn, refresh, or EXTEND their DB2/COBOL skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars DB2 for the COBOL Programmer Dec 1 2000
By L. Baldwin
Format:Paperback
I started a new job and needed to learn DB2 in a hurry. I bought part 1 and part 2. I was coding in no time. But the best part is they make excellent reference books because they are laid out so well. These books are well worth the investment.
