Kursbeskrivning: DB2 9.7 Administration Workshop for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

This course is designed to teach you how to perform database administration tasks using DB2 9. These tasks include creating DB2 instances, creating and populating databases, and using logical design to support concurrency and recovery requirements. New features, such as range partitioning, data row compression, and pure XML (native XML storage) will be introduced.  Hands-on exercises provide an option of using either an AIX, Linux, or Windows operating system.

Course Materials

The course materials address DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

Hands-On Labs

Ten labs are included to address DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

Certification

Prepare for IBM Certification Test 731: DB2 9 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Database Administration.

Before taking this course you should be able to:

• Use basic OS functions such as utilities, file permissions, hierarchical file system, commands, and editor
• State the functions of the Structured Query Language (SQL), and be able to construct DDL, DML, and authorization statements
• Discuss basic relational database concepts and objects such as tables, indexes, views, and joins

These skills can be developed by taking:

• Basic OS functions: Windows Operating System Training, Linux Operating System Training, AIX Operating System Training, or have equivalent administration experience
• SQL and relational database basics: DB2 SQL Workshop (CE12, 3E12) or have equivalent knowledge of SQL basics
