Before you start

Find out what to expect from this tutorial and how to get the most out of it.

About this series

This tutorial is part of a series that explores the many features of the Data Studio data perspective and its associated views, wizards, and editors. Because this tutorial's focus is the Data Studio tooling and not coding techniques, the code samples are basic and use the DB2 SAMPLE database.

About this tutorial

This tutorial takes a basic approach to working in Data Studio's Eclipse environment, explaining user interface concepts and offering steps for creating connections.

Objectives

In this tutorial:

  • Install Data Studio
  • Learn Eclipse terms, such as resources, perspectives, views, editors, and wizards
  • Start Data Studio
  • Connect to a server
  • Manage connections
  • Create a data development project
  • Explore teaming options

Prerequisites

This tutorial is written for database administrators and database programmers whose skills and experience are at a beginning to intermediate level. You should have a general familiarity with creating DB2 connections.

System requirements

To run the examples in this tutorial, you must install and configure the SAMPLE database that is included with DB2 V9.5. See the DB2 product documentation and first steps for more information. You will need installation access and authority to the Data Studio 9.5 source code. You must be able to connect to the SAMPLE database with a user ID and password.

If your installation of Data Studio is new, your perspectives (Eclipse views) will be empty. The figures used in this tutorial contain resources because the Workbench contained existing projects. Once you create a project in this tutorial, your Workbench will contain similar resources.

The schema used throughout this tutorial is "DEATON". Replace the "DEATON" schema with your schema, represented in the instructions by SCHEMANAME, when a task requires a schema name.
