Daniel does not know very much about DB2 and he (sort of) restricted his statement in another post.

Daniel is very upset, however, that DB2 for AS/400 and VM, and z/OS have different code bases from each other and from DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. This is true even though Oracle does not run on AS/400 or VM, and is not used in production very often on z/OS (formally known as OS/390). Received on Fri Mar 04 2005 - 00:32:38 CST
