Learn how to take advantage of advanced programming techniques to access DB2 databases in the workstation environment. You can use these techniques in addition to the standard embedded SQL calls that you learned in the prerequisite course:

DB2 UDB Programming Fundamentals (CF104)

Irving/Dallas, TX	sep.22.2008 - sep.23.2008	register

who can benefit

This is an intermediate course for application programmers who plan, implement, and maintain DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

prerequisites

You should complete:

	DB2 UDB Programming Fundamentals (CF104)
	Introduction to C Programming - AIX/UNIX (Q1070)
	or be able to code embedded, static SQL applications, discuss relational database concepts, and use basic C language syntax components. You should also have application programming experience with other relational database systems, such as DB2 UDB for z/OS, DB2 for VSE and VM, or DB2 UDB for iSeries.

skills gained

	Use object-relational capabilities of DB2 UDB such as Large Object (LOB) manipulation, user-defined functions, and user-defined distinct types
	Code stored procedures and call such procedures
	Use product-defined Application Programming Interfaces (API)

course materials

The course materials cover DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8.2.

hands-on labs

Five labs are included to address DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8.2.

certification
