The DB2 Universal Database Quick Beginnings books provide a focused introduction to the installation and configuration of DB2 products.

This Quick Beginnings book will guide you through the planning, installation, migration (if necessary), and set up of a partitioned database system. After you have set up and configured your partitioned database system, you will create the SAMPLE database. Finally, once the DB2 server has been installed and the SAMPLE database has been created, you will install a DB2 client and configure a connection between the client and server using the DB2 GUI tools.
