Hi everybody,

of course you all have read the posting guide lines, but I'd like to kindly ask you to keep a few things in mind:

• Use code tags for better readability (the '#' button in the editor).
• Give some sample code which is refering to your problem, or the table/columns definitions.
• Please add the DB2 error message, containing the return code (e.g. SQL0206N) and the sql state (e.g. SQLSTATE=42703).
• Information about your environment (Linux, z/OS, Window$) and DB2 version sometimes can be very helpful.
• Do not ask for solutions about homeworks, certifications etc., and do not answer such questions either.
• Exam documentation is copyrighted by IBM, so don't ask for that either. Instead have a look at the IBM web site, e.g. the tutorial "DB2 V8 Family Fundamentals certification prep tutorials " at the IBM developerWorks pages regarding the DB2® (Version 8) Fundamentals Certification (Exam 700).

This makes it easier for the community to understand your problem and maybe even to present a solution. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Bernd
