This is the one book that teaches DB2 from the programmer's point of view, so you can start writing programs using embedded SQL right away. Of course, you'll learn all the essential coding elements you need to write any DB2 program. But you'll also get the conceptual background on how DB2 works that makes it easier for you to learn and remember the coding details.( 11 chapters, 371 pages, 175 illustrations)

 The COBOL Programmer's Bible for DB2 December 19, 2006
I purchased this book several years ago as a new Cobol/DB2 programmer. It was clearly written, with excellent, relevant examples. Highly recommended to those mainframers still out there! :-)

This book was advertised as new, still in the wrapper. The book was not new. There were penciled-in remarks throughout the book. Several pages were starting to come out of the book. The wrapper was obviously applied by the owner of the book.

If you're an applications programmer and ned to learn SQL to extract information from IBM's DB2 relational database products, this is the book for you. Don't let the size fool you; you can get through it in under a fortnight. This book contains the most of what any applications programmer working in the mainframe environment will need for all applications.
An excellent introduction to embedded SQL for DB2 July 6, 1998

As a contract programmer, I can really appreciate a book that teaches new programming tools with a minimum of confusing, redundant, or unnecessary information. Steve Eckols' book "DB2 for the COBOL Programmer Part 1" certainly meets these standards.If you are an experienced COBOL programmer with work experience using any DBMS, whether or not it is SQL based, this book will help you to become a productive DB2 programmer in a minimum amount of time. Mr. Eckols has obviously put a great deal of thought into the book. It is organized in a straightforward manner. Most chapters end with a coding example that is kept simple to focus on the features introduced in that chapter. In addition to the basics of SQL for DB2, this book also includes some of the possible problems and efficiency issues normally learned by trial and error. I would highly recommend this book to all COBOL programmers who would like to learn DB2 (or SQL in general.)
