IMS is a Hierarchical DB, while DB2 is a Relational DB. Structure for both is completely Different. You can say, both are not related in any manner.

It simply depends on your approach and the way.

Steve Eckols is one of the best to begin with.

Thanks Priyesh for your valuable suggestion.
one more question of mine is,
1. I heard people saying that IMS is going to die completely in matter of times. Is it ture.? Because i wanna be choosy in selecting when i have the
options of both kinds of projects with me. |

It can be true up to an extent as now some IMS DBs are getting migrated to others.
