Let me be more clear, not just by todays standard, even by 90's standard, Mainframe is dated. This is a well-known fact, not just my opinion.

DB2 is #3 in terms of ease-of-use, behind Oracle and SQL Server. Now that's just my own experience. If you have read previous comments carefully, it is really not that vague. Received on Mon Aug 08 2005 - 21:13:43 CDT
