Editorial ReviewsProduct DescriptionMarketshare for DB2 has been growing steadily over the past 5 years and with the announcement of DB2 Universal Database V8 (T-Rex), the product has never had more momentum. DB2 owns about 30 percent of the database market--the same as Oracle. Not only is the product used in many Fortune 500 companies, but it is becoming very popular in small to medium sized businesses as well. This book provides the reader with a comprehensive reference and research tool for DB2 for the mainframe. Official material is awkwardly written, spans over a dozen manuals in PDF format, and lacks real-world guidance. Author, Craig Mullins, consistently hears from readers of past editions that they rely on this book as their primary reference for DB2. Craig Mullins is constantly being asked when it will support a new release. "This is an excellent book . . . It is chock full of DB2 technical information, design and tuning approaches and database administration guidelines . . .Mullins seems to have dumped his entire DB2 life experience into DB2 Developer's Guide."- Jonathon Sayles in Relational Database Journal. |

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 24 reviews. db2, 2009-06-09 Reviewer rating: Awesome, very comprehensive. I am currently using this book to enhance my knowledge of the Explain command. This is a very thorough complete book for anyone using DB2. I have just cracked the surface and have found this book very helpful. It has been borrowed off my desk twice in the two days in has been in the office. | THE BIBLE(5th edition) , 2008-03-23 Reviewer rating: THE BIBLE - this is how I call this book. I read this particular edition for the first time in February 2005. Several months later once again, and it's always at my desk. Enormous amount of priceless information. I don't think there has ever been any other publication that managed to cover so much in just 1,000 pages.
And the book is not just "developer's guide" - the book is "The DB2 professional's guide".
| It's only half a book - nothing about dynamic SQL, 2008-02-25 Reviewer rating: This may be considered the Bible of DB2 books but it is lacking a whole Testament! If, like me, you are looking for info on dynamic and extended dynamic SQL to avoid having to read IBM manuals, you've come to the wrong place as this book says words to the effect of "If you want info on dynamic SQL, read the IBM manual" and leaves it at that. You would do better to hunt around the IBM online library and grab the manuals from there - they are actually pretty good, too. | Craig's Best DB2 Reference, 2008-02-11 Reviewer rating: I updated my library with the new edition of this Book. As in the older versions, it will be a valuable resource used daily. Thanks! | DB2 developer's Guide (5th Edition) , 2007-10-22 Reviewer rating: A concise & up to date guide on all things relating to DB2 by one of the top authers. Highly recommended. |
