Rating: 5
Summary: This is the way to learn DB2.
Comment: If you're an applications programmer and ned to learn SQL to extract information from IBM's DB2 relational database products, this is the book for you. Don't let the size fool you; you can get through it in under a fortnight. This book contains the most of what any applications programmer working in the mainframe environment will need for all applications.

Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent introduction to embedded SQL for DB2
Comment: As a contract programmer, I can really appreciate a book that teaches new programming tools with a minimum of confusing, redundant, or unnecessary information. Steve Eckols' book "DB2 for the COBOL Programmer Part 1" certainly meets these standards.

If you are an experienced COBOL programmer with work experience using any DBMS, whether or not it is SQL based, this book will help you to become a productive DB2 programmer in a minimum amount of time.

Mr. Eckols has obviously put a great deal of thought into the book. It is organized in a straightforward manner. Most chapters end with a coding example that is kept simple to focus on the features introduced in that chapter.

In addition to the basics of SQL for DB2, this book also includes some of the possible problems and efficiency issues normally learned by trial and error.

I would highly recommend this book to all COBOL programmers who would like to learn DB2 (or SQL in general.)
