Mr. Rielau, when do you stop promoting DB2 by shooting out of the hip at Oracle? Your comments are definitely not unbiased, and you are only interested in promoting the SQL-99 standard, because you think DB2 adheres to it better then Oracle.
Why don't you just say that? Why don't you just say you only respond to this topic to *promote* DB2.

Personally I think DB2 is yet a few light years behind Oracle, and I am beginning to regret my employer is trying to turn me into a DB2 administrator.

Please stop the hypocrisy, and stop your biased comments. You have a *commercial* interest, and your comments ought to go to .marketplace, where they, being spam, belong.
