DB2 Information – Hardcopy and Online
The table in this section lists the DB2 books. They are divided into two
groups:
Cross-platform books
These books contain the common DB2 information for all
platforms.
Platform-specific books
These books are for DB2 on a specific platform. For example,
there are separate Quick Beginnings books for DB2 on OS/2,
on Windows NT, and on the UNIX-based platforms.
Cross-platform sample programs in HTML
These samples are the HTML version of the sample programs
that are installed with the SDK. They are for informational
purposes and do not replace the actual programs.
Most books are available in HTML and PostScript format, or you can choose
to order a hardcopy from IBM. The exceptions are noted in the table.
On OS/2 and Windows platforms, HTML documentation files can be installed
under the doc\html subdirectory. Depending on the language of your system,
some files may be in that language, and the remainder are in English.
On UNIX platforms, you can install multiple language versions of the HTML
documentation files under the doc/%L/html subdirectories. Any
documentation that is not available in a national language is shown in
English.
