Oh, come on! If IBM use DB2 for benchmarks, then other vendors say: "See, you're locked in to IBM". If they use some other vendor's software, then other vendors say: "See, DB2 doesn't perform well, that's why they use Sybase (or whatever)".

It's one or the other, surely? Received on Fri Jun 08 2001 - 14:16:07 CDT
