Customer Reviews

DB2 Universal DRDA Certification Guide, The
Unlike most books in the 'certification' series, this book does not give you enough information to assure you will pass the exam. The sample questions provided at the end of the book are much easier than the actual exam questions and give a false sense of confidence. Supplement your reading with other books on connectivity, such as "The Universal Connectivity Guide to DB2."

Why did IBM cancel this certification?
I do not see this certification from IBM. They removed it this month. Any reason?
