Thanks, Bala R
Hii bala,
I want to become DB2 DBA and shortly i will be shifting to the admin team. hence i am planning to do this.. By the way what is this exam regarding ..297. can you throw some light on this..
I the study materials roger's and the Materials from site will do for this exam 701. but the questions will come from crook and corner of each topic and it will be twisted. Hence take up assessment exams and then go for the exam. All the best..!
I was referring to the six tutorials from the IBM site. I will help you.. It has some topics which are covered in detail than in Rogers... So, just have a glance on those too before attending this exam.
My name is DS. I am a Maimframe professional and would like to know about DB2 DBA. Could anyone tell me deatils like 1. Opportunities for DB2 DBA. 2. Prospects for DB2 DBA. 3. Scope of the DB2 DBA in job market. 4. Growth rate in recent time. 5. Sources of opportunities.
The db2 DBA has much better scope in terms of job and the salary. compared to oracle dba or sql dba.. db2 udb has more weightage. since the udb databases are n times larger than that of oracle dbs or sql dbs, the salary is obviously more for db2 dba and ofcourse the work..!
and as you know db2 dbas has more onsite oppurtunities than other dbas.. and other developers... so its great..!
Thanks for the info. Do you know any independent freelance trainer(like desi traniers) for this DB2 DBA? or any trainer who is giving assistnce to get in to this..
Sorry for the very late reply, I was totally held up with work :-(
Regarding the training for db2 701 exam. i dont think anybody gives as like for oracle OCP. you can download the db2 enterprise edition ( free download) and have some hands on while preparing for this exam.
Even you may have cleared this exam long before.. I am not sure. but, hope my reply helps or gives an idea.
It's OK. I can understand work schedules. After clearing my 700 I would like to join as DB2 DBA first and then wants to take up 701. In this line if yo know any inputs.. Please send accross to my email. I would be thankful to you.
Regards, DS.
