Top DB2 LUW Support Issues and Solutions - Real World Experiences
Julian Stuhler
IBM Gold Consultant and IBM Information Champion
In this episode, special guest Julian Stuhler, Director Triton Consulting and IBM DB2 GOLD Consultant, shares with us his views and experiences on the top DB2 support issues and recommended solutions.
While most of us eventually become adept at handling challenges in our own organizations, you can get a head start and be more proactive by joining us for this unique show. As Julian checks off the most common problems he and his teams run into, you may likely learn how to avoid a problem. Or, you might learn a clever or efficient solution to a common challenge.
They say the difference between stupidity and ignorance is how many times you make the same mistake. Well, here is another great opportunity to benefit from the mistakes and ensuing wisdom of others.
