Planning for Distributed Relational Database, SC26-4650, helps you
plan for distributed relational data. It describes the steps to take, the
decisions to make, and the options from which to choose in making those decisions.
The book also covers the distributed relational database products and capabilities
that are now available or that have been announced, and it discusses IBM's
stated direction for supporting distributed relational data in the future.
The information in this book is intended for planners.
- DRDA:
Connectivity Guide, SC26-4783, describes how to interconnect IBM products that
support Distributed
Relational Database Architecture. It explains concepts and terminology
associated with distributed relational database and network systems. This
book tells you how to connect unlike systems in a distributed environment.
The information in the Connectivity Guide is not included in any product documentation.
The information in this book is intended for system administrators, database
administrators, communication administrators, and system programmers.

Application Programming Guide, SC26-4773, describes how to design,
build, and modify application programs that access IBM's relational database
management systems. This manual focuses on what a programmer should do differently
when writing distributed relational database applications for unlike environments.
Topics include program design, preparation, and execution, as well as performance
considerations. Programming examples written in IBM C are included. The information in this
manual is designed for application programmers who work with at least one
of IBM's high-level languages and with Structured Query Language (SQL).

those products, and gives detailed information on how to diagnose and report
problems with each product. The guide describes procedures and tools unique
to each host system and those common among the different systems. The information
in this book is intended for the people who report distributed relational
database problems to the IBM Support Center.
