How to learn DB2 from abinitio.

[Aparna V]

Hi,

I want to learn DB2 and has never worked with it. Could someone please suggest some good way to start it.

getting proper education on any MF environment is going to be pretty hard without the support of You employer

on the other side You can well exercise the chief aspect of DB2/SQL by installing on your PC the REAL thing

see here

on how to install a DB2 environment in Your workstation

and if You had googled with "db2 starter guide"
You would have found

IBM-DB2 express-C is an excellent way to learn DB2, I've used it and found it really overwhelming. What else you need - it's free to install!

Start from what Enrico has suggested to.

Happy Learning!

Thanks Enrico and Anuj. Along these lines do you think that do we have something which we can use to practice only SQL (at home)?
