Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java
v How to write distributed applications across operating systems
v How to write applications that use Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) to
access DB2 servers
v How to write applications that use JDBC and SQLJ with the Java programming
language to access DB2 servers
v How to write applications to store XML data on DB2 servers and retrieve XML
data from DB2 servers.
The material needed for writing a host program containing SQL is in DB2
Application Programming and SQL Guide.
The material needed for writing applications that use JDBC and SQLJ to access
DB2 servers is in DB2 Application Programming Guide and Reference for Java. The
material needed for writing applications that use DB2 CLI or ODBC to access DB2
servers is in DB2 ODBC Guide and Reference. The material needed for working with
XML data in DB2 is in DB2 XML Guide. For handling errors, see DB2 Messages and
DB2 Codes.
If you will be working in a distributed environment, you will need DB2 Reference
for Remote DRDA Requesters and Servers.
Information about writing applications across operating systems can be found in
IBM DB2 SQL Reference for Cross-Platform Development.
System and database administration
Administration covers almost everything else. DB2 Administration Guide divides
some of those tasks among the following sections:
v DB2 concepts: Introduces DB2 structures, the DB2 environment, and high
availability.
v Designing a database: Discusses the decisions that must be made when
designing a database and tells how to implement the design by creating and
altering DB2 objects, loading data, and adjusting to changes.
v Security and auditing: Describes ways of controlling access to the DB2 system
and to data within DB2, to audit aspects of DB2 usage, and to answer other
security and auditing concerns.
v Operation and recovery: Describes the steps in normal day-to-day operation and
discusses the steps one should take to prepare for recovery in the event of some
failure.
DB2 Performance Monitoring and Tuning Guide explains how to monitor the
performance of the DB2 system and its parts. It also lists things that can be done to
make some parts run faster.
If you will be using the RACF access control module for DB2 authorization
checking, you will need DB2 RACF Access Control Module Guide.
If you are involved with DB2 only to design the database, or plan operational
procedures, you need DB2 Administration Guide. If you also want to carry out your
own plans by creating DB2 objects, granting privileges, running utility jobs, and so
on, you also need:
v DB2 SQL Reference, which describes the SQL statements you use to create, alter,
and drop objects and grant and revoke privileges
v DB2 Utility Guide and Reference, which explains how to run utilities
