DB2 Application Programming
Course Details
About the course
This course presents the fundamental concepts and programming techniques required to access DB2 for z/OS data through application programs. Students will learn to code programs with embedded SQL and to use a variety of attachment facilities to run those programs against DB2 for z/OS databases. The course includes many hands-on programming exercises which give students the opportunity to develop programming skills, learn good programming techniques and implement programming best practices while accessing DB2 data. Students taking this course should have a basic understanding of relational databases (preferably DB2 for z/OS) and a basic knowledge of SQL.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Understand the physical design of a DB2 for z/OS database, and how this design impacts application development
- Describe key features in DB2 for z/OS which support application development
- Understand application environments and their connections to DB2 for z/OS
- Utilize a variety of advanced query capabilities provided by DB2 for z/OS in accessing data via application programs
- Design, develop, prepare, and deploy both local and remote application programs which access DB2 for z/OS data
- Leverage traditional and new application development technologies such as C, C++, Java, XML, SOA, and Web Services
- Recognize and troubleshoot database and application performance issues
To meet these goals, the course covers the following topics:
- Programming APIs for DB2 for z/OS
- Overview
- Application development foundations
- Creating a simple application in TSO
- Creating a simple application using RDz toolset
- Programming Interface
