Exam 700 is DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Fundamentals. It primarily covers SQL and
the different DB2 Information Management products and how they work
together. If you know SQL (DML, DDL, and DCL) you will have a good chance of
passing the exam, even if you have not worked with DB2.

But just passing this exam 700 does not qualify you as a DBA, you will also
need 701 which is much more difficult. But you have to start somewhere. Good
Luck.

Refer to following for additional information about sample tests (highly
recommended) and other certification information:

You can also download trial DB2 software (good for 90 days) from the IBM
website.

as well.
