Good and up-to-date book on DB2

Hello All,

I am planning to buy a book on DB2. I searched Google and found lot of
praise for "DB2 developers guide" by Craig Mullins.

But when I check out the book in a book store I found 3rd edition of
the book which talks about latest features of DB2 UDB 5. But the
current version is 8.

The book looked very comprehensive but I am afraid that I may miss out
of the latest features of DB2 v8.

My expectation is the following

* Know DB2 internals (specially clustering, high availability)
* know about all the latest features so that I can design better
solutions
* writing high performance applications. (by taking advantage of new
features)
* Administration and maintenance

Thanks for your help.

regards,
Abhishek.

Hi all, I'm new to using style sheets for laying out my web pages. I have a horizontal navigation menu that is split into two sections - three buttons on the left and a submenu on the right that changes depending on which button you select. The menu looks good in Internet Explorer 6, but in Mozilla Firefox 0.8 and Netscape Navigator 7.1 the submenu positions itself further down the page instead of right next to the buttons. I don't know...

Good morning at all, i have to implement a server,that every n-seconds (eg. 10sec) sends to other clients,which files and directory has been deleted or modified. i build a n-tree, for each files on harddisk there's a node into n- tree, this solution is not good for large hard disk.. and i can't use inotify (it's forbidden), and only c solutions are accepted without third party software or external calls.

All this stuff is making my head spin. Are there any really good books on it? I found some really good links for COM, but when I look up a practical guide for programming the stuff, everything just flies over my head. How did you guys ever figure it all out? BTW, I'll post all the things I find for people who are in the same boat as me.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
