Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: OT - DB2 for OS/2
I ran it at home for a couple of years (OS/2 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0 "warp"), I finally gave up on it because IBM never got permission to support Windows95 applications in a shell.
It worked very well, though - never crashed. DOS and Windows sessions crashed, but the OS never failed. And it was so configurable!

Subject: RE: OT - DB2 for OS/2
Until last year my old company was still extensively into OS/2
servers. We
had DB2 on them as well.
All kidding aside about dead OS's.... OS/2 was a excellent OS. It
was
solid in its last incarnation and IBM software ran great on it. Our
biggest
trouble was finding outside software to run on it.
If it was not for the fact that no desktop apps were available, we
would
probably never have gotten off of it as a desktop solution for the
company.

Isn't OS/2 still used extensively by banks to run ATM's? If that's
the case,
then IBM would have a vested interest in keeping DB2 current on
OS/2.

I can't believe it, they have a beta DB2 v.7.1. for OS/2, same
release
number as for AIX.
I thought that OS was dead!
