Lock access plan for a query. Prevent the optimizer from changing a plan, once a "good" plan has been determined.

Please create current training material for Db2 administration

Please create basic training material for database administrators on Db2 that is easily consumable and free. A platform like EDx, Udemy, etc, would be ideal, but even on a proprietary platform would be acceptable.
