Designed specifically for COBOL programmers, <i>DB2 for the COBOL Programmer, Part 2</i> takes up where <i>Part 1</i> leaves off. <i> Part 1</i> covers the essentials needed to write any COBOL program that handles DB2 data. <i> Part 2 </i> builds on that base to give you advanced DB2 skills, so you can become a top senior programmer or programmer/analyst in your shop. <P>That means you'll learn: <P>How to use stored procedures that move SQL code off of the client and onto the database server to reduce network overhead <P>How to use dynamic SQL so your programs can generate and execute SQL statements as they run <P>How data sharing works on the parallel sysplex and other System/390 configurations <P>How to work with distributed DB2 data <P>How to process DB2 data in CICS programs <P>Advanced locking concepts that show how locking and data sharing affect each other and what impact that has on program efficiency <P>The concepts and practices of DB2 database administration that let the programmer design databases, manage database objectives, and set up a quality assurance environment
