I quote from Blair's post, and yours (appended):
DB2 is the same code base on all versions of Windows (95 through 2000), AIX,
Solaris, HP-UX, NUMA-Q and OS/2. There are three other DB2 code bases
(390, AS/400
and VM/VSE). 4 code bases is not "zillions". Each RDBMS vendor has an
additional
code base kicking around (Oracle has RDB, Sybase has SQL Anywhere, and
Microsoft has
Access and Foxpro) - at least IBM has aligned DML across the platforms.
