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-speci®c books

These books are for DB2 on a speci®c 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 ®les can be installed under the doc\html subdirectory. Depending on the language of your system, some ®les may be in that language, and the remainder are in English.

On UNIX platforms, you can install multiple language versions of the HTML documentation ®les under the doc/%L/html subdirectories. Any documentation that is not available in a national language is shown in English.

You can obtain DB2 books and access information in a variety of different ways:
