DB2 Stored Procedure Programs - Installing, Programming & Running

 LENGTH OF COURSE:
1-3 Days

DESCRIPTION: This information-packed class will take the student through the design, coding and installation of DB2 Stored Procedures. We begin with an introduction to stored procedures and evaluate all aspects of using the procedures in applications. Sample program code will be given to the students to use when they return to their jobs. In addition to the basics, many administrative topics will be covered.

PREREQUISITES: It is strongly recommended that students have at least one year of programming experience. Students should also be able to code SQL statements using QMF or SPUFI, code embedded SQL, understand IBM's JCL, and have experience in TSO/ISPF, or its equivalents.

INSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES: Lecture / Labs (when/where available).
