Abstract/Overview

This hands-on course provides the necessary knowledge to effectively develop application programs in the DB2 for OS/390 UDB environment. It covers all relevant topics from introductory relational concepts to a discussion of the SQL language to the review of the DB2 facilities necessary for application development. Hands-on exercises ensure an effective learning experience.

Audience - Who Should Attend?

The course is intended for database administrators, systems analysts, and programmers who participate in the development of DB2 for OS/390 applications.

Prerequisite

No previous database experience is necessary, however, some familiarity with the OS/390 environment, basic TSO/ISPF skills, and a general understanding of application programming are assumed.

Objective

  • Gain an appreciation for the major characteristics of the relational model and the components of DB2.
  • Become familiar with DB2 objects.
  • Gain a good understanding of the SQL language.
  • Learn to code basic Data Definition Language (DDL) commands.
  • Learn to effectively code Data Manipulation Language (DML) for both interactive and programmed environments.
  • Learn how to prepare and test a program containing SQL.
  • Gain an understanding of how DB2 controls concurrency and manages referential integrity.
  • Learn DB2"s security and authorization components and Data Control Language (DCL).
  • Understand the basic access paths to DB2 data and to be able to use the EXPLAIN facility.
  • Become familiar with the DB2 Catalog and the major DB2 Utilities.
