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.
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.
