DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Ordering printed DB2 books

If you require printed DB2® books, you can buy them online in many but not all countries or regions. You can always order printed DB2 books from your local IBM representative. Keep in mind that some softcopy books on the DB2 PDF Documentation DVD are unavailable in print. For example, neither volume of the DB2 Message Reference is available as a printed book.

Printed versions of many of the DB2 books available on the DB2 PDF Documentation DVD can be ordered for a fee from IBM. Depending on where you are placing your order from, you may be able to order books online, from the IBM Publications Center. If online ordering is not available in your country or region, you can always order printed DB2 books from your local IBM representative. Note that not all books on the DB2 PDF Documentation DVD are available in print.
