Course Description

This course is designed to teach you how to perform database administration tasks using DB2 9. These tasks include creating DB2 instances, creating and populating databases, and using logical design to support concurrency and recovery requirements. New features, such as range partitioning, data row compression, and pureXML (native XML storage) will be introduced. This course provides a fast path to DB2 database administration skills for experienced relational DBAs.

This course replaces Fast Path to DB2 9 for Experienced Relational DBAs (CL282). This is the Classroom version of Instructor-Led Online course Fast Path to DB2 9 for Experienced Relational DBAs - Instructor Led Online (3L283).
