  Hello,

  Does anyone have any good resources for the SQL Server DBA tasked with working with DB2 UDB (specifically, version 5 on the AS400)? I have to design a new database on an AS/400 and I'd like to get up to speed (relatively) quickly.

  (should have been DB2 UDB in subject line)

  Thanks,

  Chris Moix

  Here is a link to IBM's site for DB2.  We use DB2 v8 on AIX.  Not exactly what you're asking for - but maybe a place to start.

  I also frequently rely on a book

  "Understanding DB2 - Learning Visually with Examples" from IBM Press

  ISBN: 0-13-185916-1
