This tutorial introduces you to the basics of the DB2 9 products and tools, along with concepts that describe different types of data applications, data warehousing, and OLAP. This is the first in a series of seven tutorials to help you prepare for the DB2 9 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Fundamentals exam 730.

Prerequisites

The process of installing DB2 is not covered in this tutorial. If you haven't already done so, we strongly recommend that you download and install a copy of DB2 Express - C. Installing DB2 will help you understand many of the concepts that are tested on the DB2 9 Family Fundamentals Certification exam. The installation process is documented in the Quick Beginnings books, which can be found at the DB2 Technical Support Web site under the Technical Information heading.

System requirements

You do not need a copy of DB2 to complete this tutorial. However, you will get more out of the tutorial if you download the free trial version of IBM DB2 9 to work along with this tutorial.
