Show Host Scott Hayes CommentaryCould this be the best book ever written for DB2 LUW? Maybe! I had the opportunity to review a few of the chapters and I was very impressed! The book is more that a certification guide - it is a terrific reference that I think you will refer to frequently! Mohan ran a little bit long today so we had to cut Kent's topics short, but don't worry! Kent and Mohan will return to our show on 27 February 2015 with Part 2 of this DB2 LUW Certification mini-crammer! About the Authors
