DB2 – Graeme Birchall’s DB2 Cookbook

db2documentation

Not sure if this question is appropriate here but I believe that it is of some interest for the db2:ers of the site.

Once upon a time the DB2 Cookbook by Graeme Birchall could be downloaded from:

http://mysite.verizon.net/Graeme_Birchall

The account seems to be closed, does anyone know if these are hosted elsewhere by the author or by anyone else? I believe that the pdf's where a great contribution for the DB2 community so it is a pity to see them gone.

For 9.7 they can be downloaded from: db2hub.com/freebies Does the cookbook exist for later versions?

Best Answer

I wrote to the author, but I never received an answer. It seems the most recent version is for v9.7. The book can be obtained from db2hub or from the wayback machine. Anyway, I published all of them in my Google Drive:

For things like this, we, the DB2 community, should work on collaborative project with collaborative tools. Let's suppose Graeme Birchall does not longer work with DB2, no-one will continue this precious work.

I advise to all of you to create open things, like open documents, open source tools in public forges, etc. My personal work around db2 is published in GitHub, and I am convinced of creating free stuff.
