Educational Seminar Details

August 8: "Application Programming Techniques That Make a Difference"

Programming techniques do make a difference. This seminar explains why Application Developers and Database Administrators need real-world tips and techniques to make life with DB2 easier, war-stories to learn from, and down-to-earth analogies to unravel the complexities of designing and coding a high-performance DB2 application.
Find out about Beth and Scott and Aunt Louise. Meet Uncle Op and the weird cousin Arthur, and discover the humor in life with DB2. This seminar includes application tuning techniques, SQL tips, slick ways of deciphering EXPLAIN output,and many other gems gathered from many years of designing,developing, and tuning DB2 systems. Also included in this one-day seminar is a clear discussion of the DB2 "BLACK BOX"and an explanation of how a program gets data from DB2 -information critical to understanding the impact of various coding techniques on both on-line response time and batch runtimes. New features available in V8 and V9 will be emphasized. Hints and tips are given at all levels, for those who have used DB2 for years as well as those who just met DB2. This seminar is based on DB2 for the Z/OS but those using other platforms may find some of the information beneficial.

Bonnie Baker speaks from many years of experience designing, developing and tuning DB2 systems. She gives real-life answers to real-life problems with DB2. Students leave "empowered" to make a difference immediately. This seminar has been enthusiastically received throughout the world.
