DB2 for the COBOL Programmer, Part 2 takes up where Part 1 leaves off, giving you the advanced skills you need to become a top senior programmer or programmer/analyst in your shop. That means you'll learn:

  • how to use stored procedures that move SQL code off of the client and onto the database server to reduce network overhead
  • how to use dynamic SQL so your programs can generate and execute SQL statements as they run
  • how data sharing works on the parallel sysplex and other System/390 configurations
  • how to work with distributed DB2 data, where the data is managed by a DB2 subsystem on a system that's connected over a network
  • how to process DB2 data in CICS programs (this section does not teach CICS itself, so if you need CICS training, see our book, Murach's CICS for the COBOL Programmer).
  • advanced locking concepts that let you understand how locking and data sharing affect each other and what impact that has on program efficiency
  • the concepts and practices of DB2 database administration that let you design databases, manage database objects, and set up a quality assurance environment

So don't wait to rise to a new level of DB2 programming. Get a copy of this book TODAY.
