Learn how to take advantage of advanced programming techniques to access DB2 databases in the workstation environment. You can use these techniques in addition to the standard embedded SQL calls that you learned in the prerequisite course:
- DB2 UDB Programming Fundamentals (CF104)
Course Materials
The course materials cover DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8.2.
Hands-On Labs
Five labs are included to address DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8.2.
Certification
Prepare for IBM Certification Test 703: DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Application Development.

Audience
This is an intermediate course for application programmers who plan, implement, and maintain DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows.
Prerequisites
You should complete:
or be able to code embedded, static SQL applications, discuss relational database concepts, and use basic C language syntax components. You should also have application programming experience with other relational database systems, such as DB2 UDB for z/OS, DB2 for VSE and VM, or DB2 UDB for iSeries.
Skills taught
- Use object-relational capabilities of DB2 UDB such as Large Object (LOB) manipulation, user-defined functions, and user-defined distinct types
- Code stored procedures and call such procedures
- Use product-defined Application Programming Interfaces (API)
Course outline
Introduction and static review
- identify DB2 family products and explain DB2 workstation component functions
- identify the key differences between static SQL and other application alternatives for accessing DB2 data
- identify requirements to support embedded SQL programs
- use compound SQL
- code CONNECT statements within an application program
- describe considerations when using Distributed Unit of Work (DUOW)
Stored procedures
- describe when the use of stored procedures is appropriate
- describe DB2's implementation of stored procedures
- list the characteristics and specification requirements of the client application and the server procedure
- describe the communication structures used with stored procedures
- write stored procedures
Introduction to Call Level Interface (CLI)
- identify the differences between CLI and embedded SQL
- identify the advantages of CLI
- identify the disadvantages of CLI
- define the primary tasks of an application
- describe the purpose of handles
- identify how a transaction is started
- process result sets returned from stored procedures
Using object-relational capabilities
- describe and use programming options for handling large objects
- describe why a user-defined type may be used
- identify how to define a user-defined type
- describe why a user-defined function may be used
- identify how to register a user-defined function
- Identify how a user-defined function is invoked
- determine which user-defined function will be invoked based on name, function path, and parameter types
- write a user-defined function
APIs
- describe when the use of APIs is appropriate
- use APIs in application programs
- identify functions provided by APIs
