Chapter 37. DB2 Utility and Command Guidelines

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Utility Guidelines

• The Pending States

Now you know about each of the DB2 utilities and commands. The specific definitions and usage guidelines presented in the first few chapters of Part VI, "DB2 Utilities and Commands," are certainly helpful, but some general considerations should be discussed. This chapter presents general guidelines for the effective use of DB2 utilities and commands, and it also discusses the pending states.

This chapter presents general advice. Whereas previous chapters presented specific guidelines for each utility, command, or group of utilities or commands, this chapter covers topics that span more than one utility or command.
