How to get the DB2 fundamentals certification
It made me
Not surprised 
"Preparing this certification was by far easier than I originally thought it would be. Perhaps the fact that I have been working on DB2 for a year now has something to do with this :)"
How I did it: I got the book (ISBN 978-1583470725) and focused on the sample tests, reviewing the chapters where I had the highest number of wrong answers. I already knew enough SQL to skip that chapter, I simply reviewed very quickly, I guess if that hadn't been the case, this would have taken me a few more weeks.
Lessons & tips:
- I you know SQL, this takes less than a week's worth of study to prepare.
- Get the book, seriously, it's all you need to pass. It's a bit pricey but you can resell it easily once you pass. In fact, I recommend you get it second-hand.
- Focus on the sample tests at the end of each chapter.
Resources:
- This book: DB2 9 Fundamentals Certification Study Guide by Roger E. Sanders (ISBN 978-1583470725)
- FORGET about the tutorial in DeveloperWorks, they are insufficient.
