Take away z/OS and AS400 and IBM's share is about the same as that of Informix or Sybase: In other words ... DB2 is being marginalized. In 5-7 years ... the current DB2 workforce will be retired. How many 20-30 year olds are learning DB2 today? How many colleges/universities are teaching DB2? How many private training companies support the product?
I stand by the statement ... in 5-7 years DB2 won't be a serious player unless Oracle or SAP steps in and helps keep it afloat.
