Course Description

This intermediate course is ideal for system administrators, database administrators and technical personnel involved in planning, implementing and maintaining DB2 databases.

Pre-requisites

Delegates should be able to:

Use basic OS functions such as utilities, file permissions, hierarchical file system, commands and editors.
State the functions of the Structured Query Language (SQL) and be able to construct DDL, DML and authorization statements.

Objectives

This course teaches delegates to perform basic database administrative tasks using DB2 10.1 for Linux, UNIX and Windows. These tasks include creating and populating databases and implementing a logical design to support recovery requirements. The access strategies selected by the DB2 Optimizer will be examined using the DB2 Explain tools. Various diagnostic methods will be presented, including using the db2diag.log file messages to direct investigation of problems and using the db2pd commands.

Administer a DB2 database system using commands and GUI tools.
Compare DMS, SMS, and Automatic storage management for table space storage.
Implement a given logical database design using DB2 to support integrity and concurrency requirements.
List and describe the components of DB2.
Define a DB2 recovery strategy and perform the tasks necessary to support the strategy.
Use autonomic features of DB2.
Examine Explain output to determine access strategy chosen by Optimizer.
Investigate current application activity that might indicate performance problems using SQL statements.
