DB2 for Windows for Dummies

Summary: I WAS a Dummy....
Review: This book is pretty good and has helped me learn the basics of DB2. I wish the book covered Version 7 though since it just came out. Perhaps one is being written. While I am not up to the point where I can go out and get a job as a DB2 DBA, I do have the skills and knowledge to add the words DB2 to my resume. If you are looking for introductory material to DB2 on Windows, I strongly suggest starting here. I have ventured into other books that were just too technical off that bat. Enjoy.

Summary: Finally a great entry-level book on DB2!
Review: This is a great entry-level book on DB2! It also provides a very useful introduction to general relational database concepts. There is installation and connectivity information that I found to be particularly useful, and best of all ---- accurate!!! The CD contains a "try-and-buy" copy of DB2 Universal Database (Version 6.1). Although Version 7 is already available, this book was probably finished too early to include Version 7 information. I hope an updated edition is in the works!
