So what? Who's talking about what happened 20 years ago? I said: in the last 5 years. Can you stay within the subject for a second?

crapcrapcrap....

remarkably, the phrase is:

"as we use a single code base across the DB2 family"

strange "family" that changes form z/OS DB2 to Java "universal driver" like lightening, depending on what interpretation is given... Like I said before: "everything everywhere". what is important is to claim it, not to be correct. Isn't it? :)

and the quote is from an article that reads in the VERY FIRST paragraph: "Version 8 of the IBM DB2 Universal Database for z/OS represents the "

Not bad for "clearly talking about the same code base for DB2 for Linux, ". Of course. It's all the same everywhere, isn't it?

Definitely enjoying to get it rubbed on your faces.... Can't you just see that it is PLAINLY indefensible, TOTALLY RIDICULOUS and DEMEANING to even pretend that it is anything else but a sham?

Do you really want more ACTUAL quotes from IBM's OWN web sites and articles? There are only 430000 of them to go, you know? We could be here a looong time...
