Use of DB2 instead of NSF files?  With the blob fields, etc it is 
technically possible.  And the mess that DB2 files are in are quite 
appalling.  For example I have an incident open in which the docsize of 
all the documents is 4MB.  Notespeek shows 300MB used by deletion stubs 
and 400MB by Lord knows what.  The incident's been open for awhile and I 
haven't had any luck with the Lotus team in figuring out what the 400MB is 
eaten up by.  I have dozens of like databases.

I wonder if LEI supports BLOB fields yet?  Last time I checked it didn't.

I wonder how Domino clustering would handle DB2 files?  Instead of 
deletion stubs and the like, you suppose they'll use journalling like the 
High Availability vendors for DB2 use?

It sure would be nice to have that built in.  For example we have a backup 
iSeries for our email, Notes databases, and other Domino based 
applications.  However we do not have a hot backup for our DB2 data, like 
payroll, ERP, etc.  Why not?  Because of the cost and difficulty of the HA 
solutions.  Domino clustering was so easy to set up.  The only bugaboo in 
Domino clustering is you have to copy the databases over there in the 
first place.  (That's why we purchased the Akornn software.)
