Re: Company thought DB2 will be better than Oracle.

Hi John,

If you have not seen DB2 on non Main Frames system crashing with a simple select query, please wait I am sure you will see it.

We are not discussing here db2 load that require check pending status clearance.

If you have ever worked on OS/2, you will get my point. There are many participants in this discussion that share the same thought. Some disagree but it is possible that it may improve in next 5-6 years. It has taken quite a few years to IBM to come up with a stable version of OS/2.
