Course Structure
• 2 hours of lecture
• 2 hours of labs
– The purpose of the labs is to practice and
expand on what you learned in the lecture and
studied in the text book.
– provide you with actual practical problems as
they occur in the industry.
– It is the hands-on, practical side of the course.
Attendance and completion of the labs will be
a key factor in completing the course
successfully.
• Remember PRACTISE makes PERFECT

Lecture and Lab Notes
• Lecture notes will be available from my Home Page or handed
out.
• Labs can be retrieved from DBT544/HANDOUTF05 on ODIN
before or during the lab or provided as a handout.
• Please print the lecture or lab notes, when appropriate, ahead of
time and bring them to class.
• !! Each lab will have a “deliverable” associated with it and will
be evaluated for marks to be counted towards your final grade!!

What is DB2?
10
DB2 UDB for iSeries
• Database is built in...not added on
• All data accessed through integrated data base
• DB2 UDB for iSeries does not have a data base
package
• iSeries is a data base machine
• AS/400 designed with relational database
• Data base provides flexibility and performance

Data Base Implementation
• Two file types
•Physical file or Table
•contains the actual data
•may/may not be keyed access
•Logical file or View
•contains no data
•different order
•reordering of fields
•changing field attributes
•expressions (translate, concatenation, etc)
•record selection based on data in fields
•joins (inner, left partial outer, exception) 14
•hierarchical merges
Implementation …
• File creation is via:
• SQL - CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW AS/400
maintains data dictionary and catalog for SQL
databases
• OS/400 - CRTPF, CRTLF commands
• record formats defined by user at field level by writing
data description specifications
• description becomes encapsulated in file object
• permits more options than SQL (eg. edit checks,
default values)
• field definitions can point to fields in other files (field
reference file)
15
FILES & TABLES ARE OS/400 OBJECTS
• OS/400 objects have descriptive part and space part
• Descriptive part contains file definition
• Descriptive part is accessed by HLL compilers etc.
to retrieve field definitions
• Space part contains the data and/or index
• Space part may contain multiple members index
