Web-based training
This course teaches you 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 your investigation of problems, as well as using the db2pd commands.
If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, please review the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page, as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course.

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
Implement DB2 security
You should be able to:
Use basic OS functions such as utilities, file permissions, hierarchical file system, commands, and editor
State the functions of the Structured Query Language (SQL), and be able to construct DDL, DML, and authorization statements
Discuss basic relational database concepts and objects such as tables, indexes, views, and joins
These skills can be developed by taking:
OS Training:
AIX 5L Basics
Linux Basics and Administration
Windows Systems Administration
DB2 SQL Workshop
DB2 Fundamentals
Or by having equivalent HP-UX or Solaris administration experience
This intermediate course is for system administrators, database administrators, and technical personnel involved in planning, implementing, and maintaining DB2 databases.
