DB2 Developer's Guide, Fifth Edition - Covers Version 8

DB2 is becoming popular in small to medium
sized businesses.
This book provides the reader with a
reference and research tool for DB2 for the
mainframe. Official material is awkwardly written, spans over
a dozen manuals in PDF format, and lacks
real-world guidance. Author, Craig Mullins, consistently hears from
readers of past editions that they rely on
this book as their primary reference for DB2.
Craig Mullins is constantly being asked when it
will support a new release. "This is an
excellent book... It is chock full of DB2
technical information, design and tuning approaches and database
administration guidelines... Mullins seems to have dumped his
entire DB2 life experience into DB2 Developer's Guide."-
