Preface:

Recently, some projects use the IBM DB2 database in Linux, which is not as easy to understand as MySQL. It may be that the DB2 database is more commercialized and is not as open-source as MySQL, the related DB2 resources are not as popular as MySQL on the Internet, and they are not as smooth as MySQL when learning DB2.

Below is a simple record of study notes. The Linux system I use is the RedHat Enterprise Edition (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5), which is a DB2 database installed on a virtual machine, it is mainly used for learning. If you really need to pay for commercial DB2 databases.
