db2 application programming DBA learning certification

Post by Natarajan » Thu Dec 11, 2008 5:51 pm

Hi Subbu,

I dont know, much about DBA.

Application Programmer just need to know, DB2 SQL and COBOL-DB2 programming.

as per my knowledge DBA - should know the advanced DDL's and tools to maintain
the database, need to know the performance tuning techniques at table space level. it is more kind of advanced.

If you are a learner i suggest following tutorials available on mainframegurukul.com.

http://www.mainframegurukul.com/tutoria ... s/db2.html

i suggest you to go thru pdf available on ibm site for db2 certification.
these are good source for knowledge. you can find those links here.
