Please Recommend Books

Hi,

I would shortly be working on DB2 UDB 8.1.2. I have no prior DB2
experience and need to be involved in the installation, maintainence
and tuning of the database.

Could you please recommend the best books around which will detail how
to setup, maintain and manage DB2 databases. From the basic to the
tuning part.

Thanx-a-ton.

Hi there.

I'd recommend -

1) The manuals (from http://www.software.ibm.com/data/db2/library)
2) The Certification Guides

I've found other books on UDB to be very basic or lacking in
administration help.

I'd also suggest you subscribe to DB2EUG mailing list (db****@lugwash .org)
where you'll get additional help.

Finally you'll find more useful information on the IDUG website
(http://www.idug.org). Consider attending an IDUG Conference to learn a
lot and to build up a network of contacts.

The 3-volume DB2 Administrator's Guide is the appropriate reference.
For a more concise book, "Advanced DBA Certification Guide and Reference",
for DB2 UDB v8 for Linux, Unix and Windows, by Snow & Phan, is a good
bet, although I always double check anything in the official admin guide.
There is also the DB2 Data Recovery and High Availability Guide that is
good to use as a reference manual for planning backups and disaster
recovery.

For quick lookups of specific information online, you can use the online
information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2help/
-- it has a pretty powerful search and complete index.

Hello, I am a seasoned Classic ASP programmer who is interested in learning ASP.NET. I bought a book (Que's Special Edition Using ASP.NET) which is complete rubbish, and would like a recommendation of something better. I have a very basic idea of how ASP.NET works having spent a couple of days playing with it, but it's still a large amount of fog with only a little clarity. I would like something that explains what's going on

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
