Simplistic
This is a completely useless book which does nothing more than walk one through DB2's installation process and Administrative GUIs. Buy the Version 6.1 Certification Guide instead and use it with the free product documentation. You'll learn about Database Administration beyond running setup.exe and trivial use of the administrative GUI.

Install failure renders book useless
On the first install I had a network card improperly installed in the machine. A registration number came back from IBM. I uninstalled and retried the install. It worked fine until it started creating the sample files. It generated the following error: SQL8008N The product "DB2 Personal Edition" does not have a valid license key installed and the evaluation period has expired. Functions specific to this product are not enabled. The expiration may be due to Y2k. The second install was in 2000.I like the concept, but do not have a lot of time to debug the install. It should work on Windows/95, but it didn't for me. Therefore, I can't utilize the book.

A great book!
If you are looking for a very good introduction to DB2 UDB for Windows NT, then this is the book that you are looking for!. I have bought 2 books about DB2 before this. Those books were good for details, but I must spent some time before I knew the overview of the DB2 UDB.This book is very good in teaching you the basic elements of DB2 UDB.
