Summary: Want to advance your DB2/SQL skills? A "MUST HAVE"!
Comment: 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.

Summary: DB2 for the COBOL Programmer
Comment: 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.

Summary: Advanced Topics in DB2
Comment: This readable volume covers DB2 data sharing, stored procedures, DB2/CICS interface, DB2 database objects, and the SQL EXPLAIN. Model programs and JCL can be downloaded from the web. I look forward to an instructor's guide (hint to Murach) as they have for other publications.

Editorial Reviews:

This new edition of DB2,Part 2, covers the version 4.1 and 5 enhancements to DB2 so programmers can take advantage of all the new and improved features that help them the most. It presents the advanced skills needed to become a top senior programmer or programmer/analyst.

Specifics covered in the 2nd edition:

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 data sharing works on the parallel sysplex and other System/390 configurations

How to work with DB2 data, where the data is managed by a DB2 subsystem on a system thats connected over a network

How to process DB2 data in CICS programs

Advanced locking concepts that show 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 the programmer design databases, manage database objectives, and set up a quality assurance environment
