Course Description

This basic course is ideal for anyone who needs to write, support or understand SQL queries. This audience includes but is not limited to end-users, programmers, application designers, database administrators and system administrators who do not yet have knowledge of the SQL Data Manipulation Language (DML).

This course is appropriate for personnel working in any DB2 environment. That is, z/OS, VM/VSE, iSeries, Linux, UNIX and Windows. It is also appropriate for those working in an Informix environment.
