A huge effort went into editing and proofing the material in the book, and the result is more than 500 pages of great copy. But a few typos got through - for which I take all the blame. Additionally, DB2 is not a static product, and IBM is continually improving it, and changing some names! The following errata should help overcome any of the glitches you may have found in the book.
Chapter 1: Just as the final camera-ready copy was signed off, IBM changed the name of DB2 Data Warehouse Edition, to InfoSphere. While you can quibble with their desire to drop a recognisable brand, at least you now know what to look for if you're after the special edition of DB2 designed for data warehousing.
Chapter 7: On page 132, before attempting to recreate the nominations table, the example has the SQL command: drop table Instrument. There is no instrument table to drop (this was a left over from another set of examples I'd developed for the book, which ultimately weren't used). Change this to: drop table nomination and the example should work fine.
