Online Resources

Students will work with a state-of-the-art commercial DMBS. A number of systems can be used. The School supports IBM DB2, but you can also use Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. Learning how to use these systems is your responsibility. You will find the following resources useful:

• Online reference for IBM DB2
• Microsoft SQL Server tutorial
• MySQL tutorial

Getting your own DBMS

• If you have your own PC, you can download a copy of DB2 for educational use. It is available for Linux and Windows. This is a large download!
• You can also download MySQL. An installer is available for Windows, and several other systems are supported as well (these may require a bit more work).
