Db2 for z/OS Embedded SQL Programming is a 2 day course targeting the needs of COBOL programmers and developers writing applications that access data stored in a Db2 database. Students will code, compile, and test 3 programs over the 2 days that will first cover SQL select, insert, update, and delete statements. It then moves to cursor processing (fetching and updating), and finally into multi row fetch and insert processing. All topics are reinforced with lectures, and always with a slant on performance. Program preparation is greatly enforced so the students come out with an understanding of the COBOL recompile, compile, and bind processing. Every developer should understand what the Db2 plans, packages and binds are all about, and this course covers them all. Students will leave these 2 days with the ability to code new programs and perform maintenance and testing on existing COBOL programs all the way from test to production. Performance best practices are taught along the way!
