Free Downloads DB2 For The Cobol Programmer, Part 2
Designed specifically for COBOL programmers, DB2 for the COBOL Programmer, Part 2 takes up where Part 1 leaves off. Part 1 covers the essentials needed to write any COBOL program that handles DB2 data. Part 2 builds on that base to give you advanced DB2 skills, so you can 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 How to process DB2 data in CICS programs Advanced locking concepts that show 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 the programmer design databases, manage database objectives, and set up a quality assurance environment

Buy this book!!! Some computer books are written by computer geeks who know their technical stuff cold. They can't teach worth a darn, but they are deep technical wizards highly versed in techno-babble. The people who wrote the Murach series are NOT (let me repeat, the Murach folks are NOT) such people. It was the most amazing experience to have read this book, and to have the feeling that either Curtis Garvin or Anne Prince were looking directly over one's shoulder anticipating the various questions that inevitably arose. This book is incredibly well structured. It is written clearly, concisely, and with relevant in-depth examples. The authors take pains to ensure that they present their programming examples without (WITHOUT!!!) falling into the trap of disjointed techno-babble so common to such books. Again, you get more than your money's worth with this book. Buy it, and recommend it to anyone else who wants to learn or refresh their DB2/COBOL skills.
This readable volume covers DB2 data sharing, stored procedures, DB2/CICS interface, DB2 database objects, and the SQL EXPLAIN. Model programs and JCL can be downloaded from the web. I look forward to an instructor's guide (hint to Murach) as they have for other publications.
I started a new job and needed to learn DB2 in a hurry. I bought part 1 and part 2. I was coding in no time. But the best part is they make excellent reference books because they are laid out so well. These books are well worth the investment.
