IBM DB2 9 Family Fundamentals

I actually took this certification test under my school’s arrangement with IBM on the 18th of December 2007.

Well, it is a easy certification exam and basically there is one introductory lesson from IBM guys who talked a lot of DB2 technologies and database terminologies (all those type of spaces, instances, type of locks, etc). After that, it is up to us to read up from the materials provided and attempt the certification exam.

The best part of the deal is that, the certification is free! Yes. It is free from them. I guess it is just a S$95 certification but they are providing it free to approximately 40 students from my faculty. It sounds a lot of money to me. The sweetest part of it is that they promised a ThinkPad for the top scorer of this certification. Result? Study like no tomorrow!

I managed to score 100% for this certification exam despite not taking CS2102. One of the other SAP trainer also got 100% for this certification. I guess in total, there are a handful of us scoring 100%.

Hopefully, we will still get a ThinkPad from them. But after close to a month of not receiving any news from them. I guess we will not be receiving them after all.
