Résumé du cours
This course is designed to teach the students how to prevent SQL performance problems and how to improve the performance of existing SQL.
Moyens d'évaluation :
- Quiz pré-formation de vérification des connaissances (si applicable)
- Évaluations formatives pendant la formation, à travers les travaux pratiques réalisés sur les labs à l’issue de chaque module, QCM, mises en situation…
- Complétion par chaque participant d’un questionnaire et/ou questionnaire de positionnement en amont et à l’issue de la formation pour validation de l’acquisition des compétences
A qui s'adresse cette formation
This course is for Db2 12 for z/OS application developers, Db2 12 for z/OS DBAs, and anyone else with a responsibility for SQL performance and tuning in a Db2 12 for z/OS environment.
Pré-requis
- Familiarity with SQL
- Familiarity with Db2 12 for z/OS
- Familiarity with Db2 12 for z/OS application programming
