Application programmers who need to write embedded SQL programs in C language. This course addresses the use of static and simple dynamic embedded SQL. It also addresses coding of stored procedures. If your programming needs include the use of User Defined Functions (UDF), Application Programming Interfaces (API), or Call Level Interface (CLI), you should also complete: DB2 UDB Advanced Programming (CF114) If you are a programmer with static SQL coding experience on another platform, such as DB2 for z/OS, you should not attend this course, but you may be interested in attending CF114.

Course title:
DB2 UDB Programming using Java
Course duration: 3.0 days
Course number: CG113
Abstract: Develop the skills you need to produce application programs in Java that manipulate DB2 databases. Learn how to use JDBC to access data via SQL, perform updates, inserts, and deletes, and process data returned via selects with result-set processing. Also, learn to use SQL for Java (SQLJ) to embed SQL statements into Java programs and prepare SQLJ programs for execution. Learn how to take advantage of advanced programming techniques to access DB2. Use DB2 UDB for Windows in hands-on labs, but the concepts presented apply to programming in Java for any DB2 database. Learn how to write stored procedures using the Development Center. Code a Java program to call the stored procedure. Examine error handling, including how to capture SQL exceptions, SQL warnings and SQL codes. Learn how to code user-defined functions. Explore performance and tuning of SQL statements and how to use the Visual Explain tool. Course Materials The course materials cover DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8. Hands-On Labs Seven labs are included to address DB2 UDB for Linux, UNIX, and Windows Version 8. Certification Prepare for IBM Certification Test 703: DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Application Development.
