Episode 34, 19 November 2010, What's NEW and COOL with DB2 and FREE TOOLS.
FREE DB2 TOOLS
Frankly, as I said on the show, I think the "DB2 Demo" tool is poorly named. Instead, not only is it a good tool for demonstrating the functional capabilities of DB2, but it can and should be used as a training tool to help you learn. And, it contains a wealth of examples which make excellent reference material.
