Now you can offload key data integrity enforcement from your application code to the database manager, so business rules cannot be bypassed and modifications can be made in one place rather than application by application. Midrange Computing editor Sharon Hoffman tells you how in her new book, DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers. "When the V3R1 database announcements were unveiled in May 1994, presenters assumed that customers understood the functions in theory," writes Hoffman in her introduction. "This assumption has proven to be invalid." The problem, she explains, is that V3R1 introduced "unfamiliar terminology based on database concepts that are unknown in the AS/400 business community." To rectify the situation, Hoffman wrote DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers--the first and only book designed to explain these important functions from the perspective of a traditional AS/400 programmer!

Review of DB2/400 Design Concepts/RI & Triggers,
By David Langlois (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DB2/400 Design Concepts: Referential Integrity and Triggers (Paperback)
This book is well written and easy to understand. This fact alone is a critical point to me in any technical book. Having been a DB2 DBA for well over a decade now, I found this book invaluable to assist me in an enhanced understanding of how DB2 functions and executes on the AS400 platform.RI is reviewed and explained in detail to enhance every database for every company using DB2. Triggers are explained clearly and concisely with a no nonsense approach. If you need to thoroughly understand DB2 on the AS400 platform, this book will make you a DB2 DBA star in your company. Well worth the investment and reading time.
