Publisher's Synopsis
*A comprehensive guide to developing applications that use DB2 UDB *Leveraging Visual Studio in DB2 UDB development: RDO, ADO, OLE DB, and stored procedures *Application development for DB2 UDB using MTS and IIS *The complete guide to application development with IBMs world-class DB2 Universal Database and Microsofts Visual Studio development tools *Leverage the power of the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) programming model *Create high-performance distributed and Web-centered database applications IBMs DB2 Universal Database Version 7.1 is the perfect enterprise database for Windows applications utilizing Microsofts Distributed interNet Applications (DNA) architecture - and Windows 2000/NT is the fastest growing platform for DB2 development. Now, theres a complete, authoritative guide to enterprise development with DB2 UDB 7.x and Microsofts Visual Studio 6.0: DB2 Universal Database in Application Development Environments! In this book, a team of IBM DB2 experts cover every key concept and technology DB2 and Visual Studio developers need to master in order to build robust, high-performance DB2 database applications.;Compare DB2s key application programming interfaces, including embedded SQL, DB2 Call Level Interface, ODBC, JDBC, SQLJ, native DB2 UDB APIs, and Microsofts Data Objects - DAO, RDO, and ADO. Discover how to incorporate DB2s powerful server-side features into your application designs - including constraints, user-defined distinct types, large objects, user-defined functions, and stored procedures. Next, using both Visual Basic and Visual C++, leverage the power of DB2 with Microsofts ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) programming model. Coverage includes: *DB2 transaction processing using Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) *Using Active Server Pages (ASP) to build Web database applications for Microsofts Internet Information Server *Tuning application performance: refining SELECT statements, managing concurrency, temporary tables, partitioning, and other key techniques *Database security considerations No matter what kind of enterprise database applications youre building, IBMs DB2 UDB and Microsofts Visual Studio are an outstanding combination - and this book is all you need to leverage them both!
