Hello,
I need to learn Cobol language and DB2 for work but it's a little bit hard to find a very interesting tutorial about them. And there's so many web sites that would be too long to check all of them.
If anyboy knows a good link, that would be great.
TIA

ps: i already know SQL and i heard DB2 and SQl are close. Is that true ?

For starters,

Try "A Beginner's Guide to Programming in COBOL" at:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/zingmatter/zingcobol/index.html

and snag the DB2 UDB Cookbook:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Graeme_Birchall/HTM_COOK.HTM

You would do well to look through the mounds of DB2 articles on IBM's "DeveloperWorks" site, though you'll need to do some sifting (though there is a "beginner's section", it's not that great; DW is really good for the truly crunchy stuff, though:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/apps/ViewServlet.wss?viewType=Library&devDomain=dmdd&sortBy=Posted&start=1&keyword=&prodfam=0&topic=0&format=18&count=0

...And TechTutorials might be a good jumping off point for manuals and other less readable but still useful stuff:
http://www.techtutorials.info/

BTW, if you're looking for printed word, I've always been more or less impressed with the SAMS "Teach Yourself" series...
