CONGRATULATIONS to all IIP students who passed the DB2 9 Fundamentals certification exam at the Toronto Lab today!! Hope you will inspire other students/ambassadors to follow suit by sharing your experience (by starting discussions on this group or writing short articles for the 1Q2009 DB2 on Campus Newsletter that will be published soon).

Thanks and congratulations again!! ;-)

Don't forget to use the study guide from Roger Sanders to study for this exam: DB2 9 Fundamentals Certification Study Guide. Roger was on the exam development team, so he wrote the book KNOWING what you will be tested on! Plus, each chapter contains a number of sample questions that can better prepare you for the test. You see, he doesn't just tell you what the correct answer is, he explains why the correct answer is correct and the incorrect answers are incorrect.

How can you get a copy of this book?

1) You can buy it... check around for a good price at any online bookstore that you normally use. I've linked to amazon.com above, but feel free to search on any online bookstore for the book.

2) If you work for IBM, you can read the book electronically for free. IBM has a corporate-wide subscription to Books 24x7 and you can access it via the Toronto Lab's homepage (click on Skills) or via w3.ibm.com. You'll need to provide your internal email address and password to have access.

Note that if you do not work for IBM, you may wish to see if your company or school has a subscription to Books 24x7.... many do.

3) The Skills Center in the Toronto Lab has a bunch of copies that you can borrow and they reopen next Monday, February 2.

Enjoy the class and good luck on your exam!
