Customer Review: This book follows the authors history of writing solid books about db2. This book gets you about 80% of the way - the other 20% is hands on work and personal determination. Good work!
Customer Review: This book does not warrant an "Advanced" label. The content contains much of the same information as any of the other DBA books. I would have expected more for an "advanced" label.

Customer Review: This is a title that's desperately needed, but it's November 2005 and DB2 is bordering on version 8.3 or 9.1 already. Where's the update? I know, I know. People say 8.2 isn't THAT different. I disagree, especially if I'm going to shell out $30 shipped.
