Question Text Books For DB2?

Hello all

Can you please suggest me couple of good books to learn DB2. I have been working on SQL Server for last 3 years, so please suggest me appropriate book(s).

To give you my background and my requirements...I am newbie to DB2 & AS400. I have been working on SQL Server 2000 for last three years and I am a DBA for my company. Now I have to design a huge database in DB2. My new company have all its legacy data in DB2 and all the (RPG) programs run on DB2. So I have to do the new one also in DB2 (and not in SQL Server).

Please suggest me a good book for "Design of Database in DB2"

Thanks

Hi achyuth,

Try the red books available in www.notes.net.

I don't feel the books available in market would really help us.

Cheers

I strongly suggest read the IBM manuals that comes with the DB2 Software, which helps you to build a strong DB2 foundation and build up...

Another suggestion is get DB2 certification guide either 7.1 or 8.1
Author George Baklarz and Bill Wong.

Thanks
