My interpretation of the article if that is what it was is that DB2 is not penetrating very far in the unix world.

It obviously will not EVER go away too many big shops running it on the mainframe.

And it has certainly gotten at least limited traction in the unix world, some of my good friends and former colleagues are supporting SAP at a big chemical manufacturer running DB2 on unix.

It's a good product but so much depends on momentum and marketing.

Just my opinion. Received on Wed Jul 27 2005 - 05:41:50 CDT
