Db2 for z/OS fundamentals course
This course presents a detailed description of the Db2 system on z/OS: what it is, what it is intended for, and how it can be used. Rather than just giving a description of the system, the course will also deal with how it relates to other RDBMS, and topics like the Db2 catalog, performance, authorisations, and integrity.
In addition, the course teaches how the system is used in practice. At the end of the course the participants will not only have the necessary theoretical knowledge of Db2 as an RDBMS, they will also have had sufficient practical training to start working with Db2 in an independent way.
Together with the course SQL and relational databases fundamentals, this course forms a well-balanced whole, in such a manner that the participants have a 'complete overview' of Db2 as RDBMS after having followed this course.
