The Developer's Handbook to DB2 for Common Servers (McGraw-Hill Series on Database Warehousing and Data Management)

Database 2's claim to fame is its role as the IBM information delivery system at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. The author (SAS Institute) attempts to fill a perceived gap in the resource literature beyond IBM manuals on DB2 for Common Servers (released 1985). Version 2.1, its present incarnation, has been used by relational database application programmers developing software for the OS2/Warp and AIX 4.0 since 1995. Spans database concepts and application development basics, structured query language, cell level interface (CLI) functions, and application programming interface (API) functions. Appendices access SQL data structures, SQL functions, and SQL State cross-reference. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
