Overview
This course provides relational DBAs with essential and advanced skills to manage, secure, recover, and optimize IBM Db2 v12.1 environments. Beginning with foundational concepts, participants will learn how to install Db2, configure instances, manage storage, and create database objects using both command-line and GUI tools. The course then expands into practical techniques for data movement, backup and recovery, and high availability configurations, equipping learners to maintain data integrity and ensure business continuity.
Security and concurrency are addressed in depth, including the implementation of user access controls, role-based permissions, encryption methods, Row and Column Access Control (RCAC), Label-Based Access Control (LBAC), and Trusted Contexts for multi-tiered architectures. Participants will also explore Db2√¢‚Ǩ™s locking mechanisms and isolation levels to troubleshoot contention issues and manage concurrent workloads effectively.
Performance tuning and optimization are emphasized through detailed instruction on the query optimizer, indexing strategies, monitoring tools, and the use of EXPLAIN utilities. Learners will leverage the Db2 AI Optimizer, Design Advisor, and Data Management Console to analyze SQL access plans and improve system responsiveness across transactional and analytical workloads.
Through hands-on lab exercises and real-world scenarios, learners will gain the proficiency to manage Db2 environments efficiently and securely, diagnose issues quickly, and ensure high availability and performance in enterprise-scale deployments.

Thinking about Onsite?
If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
