Worst Book
2 book by the same authors. When I first started with DB2, this book was recommended to me by someone who read the v7. This was the most confusing techie book I have ever read. Amongst all the typos, my biggest gripe is the index. You may as well rip the index out of the book because it is useless. There hasn't been one time where I wanted to look something up, referring to the index, and found what I was looking for. Its like a 900 page book with a 7 page index. . . useless.

NOT a good book
It should have said - and MORE, SO MUCH MORE. So it claims that Chapter 1-8 covers the objectives for Exam 700. Which borders on garbage.

Please focus only on the exam objectives. The topic on MDC perhaps should have covered over 30 pages in a book titled "DB2 New Features" instead of this one?

I passed 700 and 701 thanks to FREE IBM Exam Prep Tutorials and the Supplementals. These 2 are ALL one needs.

Lo que necesitas para certificarte/What you need to get certified

I'm relly satisfied with this book, it has been a big help to get ready and get my own db2 certified, i'd highly recommend it. Realmente estoy muy complacido con este libro, el cual me ha servido para prepararme y poder certificarme, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
