4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and Informative, 19 May 1998
By A Customer
I'll be using this book to teach my 5th semester Computer Engineering students about SQL in a DB2 environment. The organization is excellent and the level of discussion is clear. My students need to learn about dynamic and embedded SQL as well as deal with the specifics of IBM's approach. Chamberlin should be congratulated for his approach and I hope that he continues to update his book as the DB2 product changes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for the rookie or the old hat., 18 Feb 1998
By A Customer
I have worked with serveral different RDBMS packages, but up until the last year never with DB2. Every database has their own SQL idiosyncracies and C/C++ interfaces so I needed a guide that would work both for someone new to the DB2 database but also for an experienced programmer.

I found Chamberlin's book to fit that need exactly. It covers everything from the basics on up to the in-depth details of database application programming. I have never been in a situation when I could not find the information I needed. I have also noticed that it is the resource of choice for our databse administrators.

"Using the New DB2" has great examples, ranging from simple SELECT statements to setting up full-scale applications making database calls with a host language. The text is very readable and informative. You will not find yourself falling asleep because an explanation was dry or too long or too short, too simple or too complex. It really fits all needs.

I give it 2 thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A well-written guide to IBM's DB2 for common servers, 16 Feb 1997
By A Customer
This book offers a lucid presentation of the major features of the IBM DB2 for common servers products, which run on UNIX and PC platforms. The emphasis is on support for newer SQL features such as triggers and stored procedures that make DB2 an "object-relational" system. The book, which is replete with tips and examples, is useful both as a reference and a how-to guide. I would not recommend this book for beginners, i.e., those without some hands-on experience with a relational Database Management System; although the book is clearly written, the subject matter covered is broad and necessarily compressed, even within 682 pages. This book was recommended by IBM as a study aid for their new DB2 professional certification program, before the release of the DB2 Certification Guide for common servers book.
