How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

Though IBM has the info center and other publications for DB2 , It is difficult to find the information we need and we jump from a page to another until we find the proper info .This book closes this gap and you find the information needed in a very short time.From my point of view it is targeted to all audience from beginners to the expert .Still relevant even for DB2 V10 with the exeption of the new functionalaties.The only thing I miss in the book is the WINDOWS specific environment .

Adrian Neagu (OCM) Mar 02, 2012

Excellent book, probably the best on this topic.The explanations and code snippets are outstanding.Very recommended for who want to learn DB2 in a different way.

DL Apr 23, 2012

This is a great book with quick reference and simple straight forward answers. This book is highly recommended to all DB2 DBA admins.

Robert W. Cooke Mar 20, 2012

The IBM DB2 9.7 Advanced Administration Cookbook was a pleasant surprise to review. The book is in more of a step by step format than a book of recipes.The book begins where it should at initial DB2 installation and creating an instance. It then proceeds on to creating databases tablespaces, bufferpools, and database objects.I was most impressed by the Backup and Recovery, Monitoring, and Tuning and Optimization chapters. The Backup and Recovery chapter is short but it covers all forms of online and offline backups and different recovery options. Monitoring covers system, snapshot, and event monitoring as well as using the memory visualizer and health monitor. DB2 Tuning and Optimization gives examples of O/S monitoring, using explain, and how indexes, reorgs, and runstats can help performance.The cookbook also discusses DB2 tools such as db2dart, db2look, db2move, db2pd, reorgchk, list tablespaces and others. It mentions db2top but does not demonstrate it.There is a chapter on DB2 PureScale but I'm not experienced with that product.The cookbook could contain more common problems/issues and troubleshooting but an entire book could be written just on that topic. All in all the IBM DB2 9.7 Advanced Administration Cookbook provides a well rounded approach to a new or novice DB2 DBA. Even an experienced DBA would learn a few things. It does not deep drive into everything but it goes far enough and provides good examples to perform the main DB2 DBA tasks. The IBM DB2 document ion and redbooks will provide the fine details.
