    very extensive

    [A review of the 5th EDITION 2004.] IBM invented relational databases and its DB2 is one of the company's core technologies. While it trails Oracle in market share, the capabilities as shown here by Mullins are probably at least the equal of Oracle's 10g. This book is designed for a full time DB2 administrator or developer, who needs an extensive reference on it. It's fair to say that you would not want to learn the theory of relational databases from this book. Sadly, there is only one, passing reference to E F Codd, in the context of normalisation of data. Minimal acknowledgment of the founder of relational modelling. Seek a learning of theory elsewhere. Instead, the book focuses on all the options built into DB2. By now, possibly person-centuries of IBM's programmer sweat have gone int this latest version 8. You can take advantage of this accrued expertise. Though the time needed to absorb a chapter may be nontrivial.

    A very Good reference

    This is an excellent reference. If you truly want to understand the workings of DB2 you need this book in your library. It will give you the indepth details. However,it is not a book for showing you how to do something. There are other books more suitable for that.

    Great Book & Reference

    This is a great book packed with lots of information on DB2 and also SQL. Although its not a SQL book it has some good examples of real world scripts. Good reference for any programmer who uses DB2, beginner or experienced.
