Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary

I've known Pavan for a few years now and it has been a delight to mentor him and watch him grow his skills. Even more impressive, he is becoming a very valuable contributor to our DB2 community. I encouraged him to speak at IDUG, and he ended up giving TWO presentations at his FIRST IDUG conference. In addition, Pavan writes helpful blogs at www.db2talk.com and quips funny, helpful, and insightful tweets via @pkristipati. I've connected him to Susan Visser @susvis at IBM and I'm looking forward to Pavan's published articles in Developer Works and IBM Data Management Magazine.

Pay attention to Pavan's presentation carefully! Follow his tips and tricks and you will save a lot of time every day!
