Hi all,

I need some help about the DB2 Certification (700 - DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Fundamentals ).

I remeber there used to be free sample online tests in Use [URL] BBCode for External Links but now i guess it had been changed or they stopped in giving free online tests, please anyone can send me the web address of the new one.

You can send me the information to my id:

Hi Rupesh,

Thanks for the information

I coudn't find any tests specfic to 700 - DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Fundamentals . And the tests are not for Free test, they charge them for $49.

If any one comes across any free online tests for the 700 - DB2 UDB V8.1 Family Fundamentals, please do a favour in sending the location of it.

Cheers
