IBM sets DB2 database free

IBM on Monday introduced a free version of its DB2 database, a move designed to win software developers over to its products.

DB2 Express-C is the same database as IBM's commercial offerings but the company places limits on what kind of hardware it can run on.

It can be deployed on systems with two processor cores or up to two dual-core chips on Advanced Micro Devices- or Intel-based servers. The memory limit is 4GB but there are no limits on the size of database or number of users.
