Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary



Again I ask: Could this be the best book ever written for DB2 LUW? Maybe! I had the opportunity to review a few of the chapters and I was very impressed! The book is more that a certification guide - it is a terrific reference that I think you will refer to frequently!


Near the end of today's show, we asked our studio audience example Certification questions from the book. Sadly, as you'll see in the replay, people didn't do very well. So, this means you need to buy the book and study it! I have ordered my copy, and Amazon says the book will ship at the end of April around the 25th. IDUG in Philadelphia begins May 4th!


This show replay is part 2 - a continuation of our Episode #148 from two weeks ago. CLICK HERE to see part 1!


As she has often done, Susan Visser, IBM, wrote a great blog about today's show. Read it HERE. You will learn more about the book and its authors!
