CL11: DB2 UDB Advanced Programming Workshop

This course teaches you how to take advantage of advanced programming techniques to access DB2 databases in the workstation environment. These techniques can be utilized in addition to standard embedded SQL calls that are addressed in the prerequisite offering, DB2 UDB Programming Fundamentals.

• Use object-relational capabilities of DB2 UDB such as LOB manipulation, user-defined functions, and user-defined distinct types
• Code dynamic SQL applications
• Code stored procedures and call such procedures
• Use product defined Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)
• Identify factors that influence application performance of alternatives to static SQL

Application programmers and other technical personnel who are involved in designing and implementing applications that access DB2 data from a workstation environment.

Before taking this course, you should be able to:

• Code embedded, static SQL applications
• Discuss relational database concepts
• Use basic C language syntax components

These skills can be developed by taking:

• Introduction to C Programming
• DB2 UDB Programming Fundamentals (CL10)

Equivalent experience may be substituted for these courses.Application programming experience with other relational database systems, such as DB2 MVS, DB2/VSE and VM, and DB2/400, would be appropriate for meeting the DB2 prerequisites.

Classroom and hands on lab exercises.
