DB2 for i – DB Coding and Implementation Using DDS and CL Commands – OL620PL
Course #:
Duration: 3 Days
Learn how to code, create and maintain DB2 UDB for i physical and logical files using native Data Description Specifications (DDS) and Control Language (CL) commands. Build a DB2 UDB for i relational database foundation, if you intend to write application programs for the IBM i system, however the course does not address SQL implementation of DB2 UDB for i.
Learn many techniques that, if implemented, enhance the performance of applications using the database.
Objectives
- Code the DDS and create the physical and logical files necessary to implement a DB2 UDB for i relational database
- Describe the advantages of a field reference file, code the necessary DDS and create a field reference file
- Explain how the choices made while coding the DDS and creating the file affect the performance of the system and the programs using the files
- Describe the considerations for using the DB2 UDB for i referential integrity and triggers
Audience
This is a basic course for individuals who create and maintain a DB2 UDB for i database.
