DB2 is quite stable on Unix, Linux, and Windows. But it is not perfect. If
you have a problem, and open an APAR with IBM support, I believe that they
will fix it (assuming it is an IBM problem, and not a DBA problem).
You have been asked multiple times for an APAR for your problem that had with DB2, but have failed to come up with one.
As to how long it will take for DB2 to become more stable, maybe it is less time than you think. A significant number of people who report DB2 problems on this and other forums are seriously back-leveled in terms of FixPaks. Received on Fri Sep 19 2003 - 22:32:56 CEST
