Title: I Expext More
Review: This book covers about 50 - 60 percent of what is on the IBM DB2 UDB 7.1 family fundamentals test and about 40 percent of what is needed for the IBM DB2 UDB 7.1 513 DBA certification. I have taken and passed both exams. Frankly I think any book or series of book that claims to be associated with the IBM Certification Guide series should cover the topic in depth. The test is sooo much more in depth, so that from this book you have not much chance of passing the tests. This book is NOT even a good reference guide, as you need much more information than is given to do anything but basic bare essential [stuff].If You want a good book that covers the topics in depth get "All In One DB2 Administration Exam Guide" for learning the material (The cd test engine [is not good]). For another book that is short of material but has a GREAT cd test engine (great for practice testing) get the "DB2 Fundamentals Certification for Dummies" just for the CD.
