From the Publisher
Paul Conte, a leading DB2/400 authority with extensive application development experience, provides easy-to-follow instruction in the proper way to create efficient, flexible databases on the AS/400. His explanations and advice assure that you'll handle your design and coding challenges with confidence and professional-level techniques.
This book provides complete coverage of both DDS, the traxditional approach to defining DB2/400 files, and of SQL/400, the industry-standard database language that is IBM's strategic language for the future of DB2/400. With this text, you can be sure of handling not only existing application databases, but also developing new SQL/400 databases. These skills will put you in the forefront of AS/400 application developers.
This book also provides an excellent introduction to practical database design techniques. You get a solid introduction to the relational database model, which underlies the whole DB2/400 architecture and the SQL language. On that foundation, the book explains a step-by-step method of modeling an organization's database requirements and developing a design for the necessary database files.
The text is designed for college-level courses and for independent study. Each chapter has numerous examples and exercises. The material is organized into four parts -- DDS, database design, SQL, and advanced DB2/400 features -- so you can focus on particular topics as needed. Appendices provide extensive reference material. You can use the book as your single DB2/400 resource, eliminating the need for many IBM manuals.
You will find "Database Design and Programming for DB2/400" immediately useful, whether you are just beginning to learn DB2/400 or you are an experienced developer. You will turn to this book time and time again for advice on the best way to design and program DB2/400 databases.
