✦ Synopsis

Having been a DBA for 2 decades I remember the 80s and 90s when it was nearly impossible to find reference books stocked with the kind of information covered here. This book blends DB2 UDB product knowledge specific for the Solaris platform with deep Solaris platform knowledge. Written in a how-to fashion, it is unique to find this product/platform combination. Most books written by IBMers are non-platform specific IBM software focused, or IBM software on IBM hardware focused. Similarly, most books published by Sun cover multiple vendor software brands (DB2, Oracle, Sybase) at a much higher level, or go much deeper into a topic, but cover Oracle only. As one might expect, the real DB2 on Solaris knowledge expressed here is authored by guys paid to develop the software on Solaris and paid to sell the software on Solaris...you won't find it anywhere else.
