Steve probably has a point on the overpricing. But his other points often
go out on some odd tangents. Some people feel that the way to get some
obscure request that no one else would find a need for is to say something
like:
DB2 won't be a "real" database until it stores all of it's numbers in
Roman numerals.
If someone's definition of portability TO an i5 is to run their
application in PASE then that's pretty lame. I don't see the benefits of
a PASE based application vs an outboard processor.
And moving DB2 offboard to PASE will only hurt performance. The only
possible benefit to enhancing migration of applications will be to those
current iSeries vendors who want to milk the iSeries cash cow without
putting any investment into it and poorly migrating their other platforms
to run under PASE and calling that the next version of their iSeries based
application for a couple of years until they drop the box altogether.
Again, DB2 in PASE will only help migrate from, not TO. If they already
have it supporting DB2 why not put it native?
