DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows (LUW) is a single product and does run the same on SUN, AIX, HP/UX, Linux (x86, AMD64/EM64T, I64, z Series), Windows 32-bit, and Windows 64-bit. There is one set of DB2 manuals for all these platforms.

It is true that DB2 for z/OS and DB2 for AS/400 are different products from DB2 for LUW, but Oracle either has a lousy product on that platform that companies only rarely use (z/OS), or does not even support (AS/400).

So your argument nonsequitor. Received on Mon Nov 28 2005 - 18:04:43 CST
