Host Commentary


If you don't know Martin Hubel, then you haven't been working in the DB2 world for very long. Martin is world famous, known for great presentations at IDUG, and he served the DB2 community as an IDUG volunteer for many years.


What you probably don't know is that Martin is my mentor and friend. In 1998, I was at an IDUG conference talking about "At 200GB Every Mistake is a BIG One!". Martin said to me "That was a great presentation - you're probably ahead of the bell curve in DB2 LUW performance expertise - you should be a consultant like me." I said, "I don't know how to be a consultant." Martin quipped, "It's easy. First thing you need to know is how to buy beer. Go buy me a beer and I'll teach you!" And, on the heels of his sage advice, my consulting career and first company was born.


So, let me shoot you straight. When Martin speaks, listen carefully. It's good for your skills and career.
