Hmm - this is not exactly true at the current time - for instance, is the Spatial Extender available on all platforms ? Are all the extenders that are available on AIX and Windows 2000 also available on all other platforms (Solaris, HPUX, WinNT, Linux, OS/390, AS/400) ? How about Data Warehouse Manager ? Query Patroller ? How do things look for the DB2 UDB 'family of products' on Dynix/PTX ? - One of those other acquisitions IBM promised to look after when they bought it Received on Sun May 20 2001 - 14:13:21 CDT
