Overview
First, the concepts of DB2 are presented and discussed.
The Structured Query Language (SQL) is presented as the means to access DB2 data (and to create and secure DB2 components).
Several guided, hands-on, practice sessions give each attendee an opportunity to use SQL to access data. QMF and/or SPUFI are used to execute SQL statements. Referential Integrity concepts and implementation are covered.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
As a result of this class, the attendee will be able to
- Explain DB2 concepts, terminology and components
- Discuss the Primary Key (PK) and Foreign Key (FK) concept
- SELECT rows of data from DB2 tables
- Use QMF and/or SPUFI to "run" SQL statements
- Use the WHERE clause to SELECT specific rows of a DB2 table
- Build queries using the ORDER BY, GROUP BY, HAVING clauses
- JOIN tables together to get information from each
- CREATE Tables, Indexes, Views
- "Change" tables using the INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements
- Discuss the major considerations for DB2 Application Performance Tuning
- Identify "good" predicates & "bad" predicates
The following "Release Dependent" features can be covered as needed -
- Version 8 - Table-Controlled Partitioning, Common Table Expression, Dynamic Scrollable Cursors, multi-row FETCH and INSERT, GET DIAGNOSTICS, Recursive SQL, Sequence Objects, Scalar Full Select, Select Statement In An Insert statement, Delimited LOAD / UNLOAD, MQT's
- Version 9 - PureXML, New Data Types - bigger BINARY, VARBINARY, BIGINT, DECFLOAT, INSTEAD OF triggers, INTERSECT and EXCEPT, TRUNCATE Statement, MERGE Statement, Native SQL Stored Procedures, Optimistic Concurrency Control, Automatic Object Creation, Skip Locked Data, REOPT (AUTO)
Audience
Experienced Data Processing personnel who need use SQL to access DB2 data.
Prerequisites
At least six months of TSO/ISPF is recommended. No previous database experience is needed.
