Title: Db2 Developer's Top Tens - Tony Andrews
There are many areas of Db2 application development that developers; testers; business analysts; etc; should know about. This presentation lays out my top 10 for the areas that are so important in developing a good application. Areas of importance being SQL tuning tips; programming tips; and of course performance and the Db2 optimizer. And one last area is when there is a Db2 issue affecting your development or job abend; what do you need to know before talking to a DBA.
