Want to advance your DB2/SQL skills? A "MUST HAVE"!
They can't teach worth a darn, but they are
deep technical wizards who are highly versed in techno-babble. Buy this book!!! Some computer books are written by computer geeks who know
their technical stuff cold. The worst
part of it usually is, they aren't even aware when they are babbling their
techno-nonsense!!! The people who wrote the Murach series are NOT (let me
repeat, the Murach folks are NOT) such people. It was the most amazing
experience to have read this book, and to have had the feeling that either
Curtis Garvin or Anne Prince were looking directly over my shoulder
anticipating the various questions that inevitably arose. This book is
incredibly well structured. It is written clearly, concisely, and with
relevant in-depth examples. The authors take pains to ensure that they
present their programming examples without (WITHOUT!!!) falling into the
trap of disjointed techno-babble so common to such books. Again, you get
more than your money's worth with this book. Buy it, and recommend it to
anyone else who wants to learn, refresh, or EXTEND their DB2/COBOL skills.

An excellent choice. You get MORE than your money's worth!

DB2 for the COBOL Programmer
I bought part 1 and part 2. I started a new job and needed to learn DB2 in a hurry. I was coding in no time. But the best part is they make excellent reference books because they are laid out so well. These books are well worth the investment.
