Quick,, Handy Reference for a former DB2 for z/OS DBA
Phil Gunning does a great job of explaining the many parameters and settings that make up DB2 UDB. If you are coming from mainframe DB2, this is the book for you. Explanations are clear and straight to the point. It helped me to understand the DB2 UDB architecture and to get up to speed quick.

Good Tips from A DB2 Veteran
Coming from Sybase, I had no idea where to start. This book has helped my get started on monitoring and tuning my databases. I picked up this book and it guided me through all the monitoring setups and provided a monitoring and tuning methodology -- along with recommendations. This stays on my desk and is very handy. .

One of a Kind
The section on logical and physical design was a good review for me. This book is really well organized. It reminded me how important a good design is to a successful database implementation. The SQL Tuning, Buffer pool tuning, and DB and DBM CFG tuning chapters have helped me take care of my problem databases and suboptimal SQL.
