It is indeed. IBM'ers do their best to weave and bob like a boxer taking punches but avoid acknowleding it but it is a simple fact of life. DB2 is an excellent product on the mainframe. The OS/400 implementation is a completely different code base. The UNIX is another, etc.

A simple check of how many characters for a table name will be sufficient to convince almost anyone other than Serge who works for IBM and codes DB2. He's a nice guy but doesn't want to lose his job so don't ask him to cry uncle.
