Apparently the ability to "LIKE " a video (thumbs up) is only available on YouTube (not via the embedded videos below).

The DB2Night Show is free. The education is free. It has always been free since inception seven years ago. It is estimated that The DB2Night Show has provided over $20,000,000 worth of classroom DB2 education value to the DB2 community. That said, yes, you will need to watch short commercial advertisements from our sponsors before the DB2's GOT TALENT Contestant videos begin.

In addition to a contestant video, we had some special guests make appearances, plus our judges and host all gave informative presentations. You can LIKE these videos if you want, but these people are ineligible for winning DB2's GOT TALENT 2016 prizes. Find these under "Extra Videos " below.
