Advanced DBA Certification Guide and Reference for DB2 UDB v8 for Linux, Unix and Windows

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book out of the Toronto Lab
Review: This book is the best book published on DB2 out of the Toronto Lab. Although it doesn't have the flair you can get with a book written by a consultant, The authors provide much more useful information that what you usually find in a book out of the developemnt lab. Usually, they just tell the party line. The authors have broken that mold and have done a really excellent job on new SQL snapshot functions. I'm building my snapshot repository as I write this. I use this book and Gunning's for all my DB2 needs. Boy and I a happy camper with these two books on my deskstop. I have to keep them from disappearing. I rated this 4 stars as it still had the company line to some extent. Great book though.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This is the book I was waiting for long on DB2UDB. This not only covers topics for certifications but also good (very good) reference material for all UDB DBAs on LUW platform.
