DB2 is the number two database server next to Oracle and is a highly underpublished area. Written by two members of IBM's DB2 team, this title provides an inside and first look at this version. It should appeal to both administrators and developers as it provides comprehensive coverage.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not complete,
By Finbre (Hillsboro, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DB2: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
This is not complete by any means. There are many times I have had to go to the internet to find information that is not in this book, including basic features such as functions that are missing and details regarding data types. I could understand if it was missing advanced concepts, but it is missing introductory information.

Great Book,
By "bhelenj" (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DB2: The Complete Reference (Paperback)
Great Book. So much information in it that they couldn't fit it all in the paper book. Chapter 30 - DB2 Command Line Processor Commands must be downloaded from the Osborne web site. I always go to this book before I going to the manuals. Seldom do I have to look further.
