An bogeyman kept alive by the Oracle posters here (looking for a
something to rub on for lack of better topics?)
Show me where an IBMer has claimed the product is the same across these
platforms.
Note that many customers of IBM develop on DB2 for LUW (i.e Windows) and
then deploy on DB2 for zOS. Apparently the compatibility is close
enough, especially since the clients (CLI, JDBC, ...) are indeed the
same codebase.
