DB2 Essentials: Understanding DB2 in a Big Data World (IBM Press)

The Easy, Visual Introduction to IBM DB2 Version 10.5 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Foreword by Judy Huber, Vice President, Distributed Data Servers and Data Warehousing; Director, IBM Canada Laboratory

This book covers everything you need to get productive with the latest version of IBM DB2 and apply it to todayâ€™s business challenges. It discusses key features introduced in DB2 Versions 10.5, 10.1, and 9.7, including improvements in manageability, integration, security, Big Data support, BLU Acceleration, and cloud computing.

DB2 Essentials illuminates key concepts with examples drawn from the authorsâ€™ extensive experience with DB2 in enterprise environments. Raul F. Chong and Clara Liu explain how DB2 has evolved, whatâ€™s new, and how to choose the right products, editions, and tools. Next, they walk through installation, configuration, security, data access, remote connectivity, and day-to-day administration.

Each chapter starts with an illustrative overview to introduce its key concepts using a big picture approach. Clearly explained figures are used extensively, and techniques are presented with intuitive screenshots, diagrams, charts, and tables. Case studies illustrate how â€œtheoryâ€ is applied in real-life environments, and hundreds of review questions help you prepare for IBMâ€™s newest DB2 certification exams.
