Prerequisites

Attendees should be familiar with the Db2 environment and have knowledge of SQL or have attended RSM's courses Db2 for z/OS: Introduction, Concepts & Facilities and Understanding and Using SQL.

What You Will Learn

  • describe the internal structure and components of Db2 for z/OS databases
  • design and assess a logical database model
  • design and implement efficient physical databases from the logical model using relevant options to create and amend storage groups, databases, table spaces, tables, indexes, aliases, synonyms, etc.
  • understand and implement an effective locking strategy and use Db2 commands and other facilities to monitor locking for performance
  • use EXPLAIN to evaluate the effectiveness of the database design.
