I am an Informix DBA who recently started learning DB2. I would say following books
should be used to learn about DB2 UDB. I am assuming u are interested in DB2 for Linux,
Unix and Windows. Even though these books are meant for Exam certification, they
are well presented in a structured form.

This one gives a quick intro:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...111966-9059856

This one is advanced.

And this one is about Stored procedures.

Hi,

You can download free course about DB2 UDB administration at IBM website:
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/e...on/ct28v8.html

There is also a DB2 UDB programming course at:

Here's a link I've found very useful - the 'DB2 Cookbook'.
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homep...l/HTM_COOK.HTM
In fact it was supplied by the tutor for the database module of a MSc
course I am doing at the moment.
