If any other vendor had come out with the functionality of DB2/6000 and attempted to compete against Oracle, Sybase and Informix in the Unix market place they would have been laughed out of the market.

DB2/6000 aint DB2 and it has a long way to go to catch up with the competitive market place in the UNIX environment.

Oracle7 has had 2 maintenance releases since its release in December of 1992, (7.0.13 and 7.0.15), it is about to have its 3rd (7.0.16).
