April 14, 2003: Conversational in tone, interesting to follow, this book reads more like a novel that keeps you turning pages with avid interest rather than another dry 'technical' resource. As someone who deals with SQL PL on an almost daily basis, I was pleasantly surprised to find I learned many things going through this book. The authors don't try to cover every tangent on the subject, and end up with an excellent resource with specific examples that deal with the topic it covers well: DB2 UDB SQL PL.
