One size does not fit all. DB2 for LUW would not be able to success on
DB2 for zOS in the same way as the real thing. The same was deemed true
vice versa.
Vastly different OS, hardware, I/O.
Given that the only other product which covers zOS and LUW at once is
Oracle and Oracle's marketshare is low single digit on zOS there is at
least no counter point.
None of the opinions voiced so passionately about the fact in this group
would be worth giving away those billions of revenue now would it? ;-)
