Re: R7 DB2/UDB vs iSeries

Walter, thanks for the info. Can I quote you on that? Just kidding...

I was going to ask you if you have a better reason why there's no NSFDB2 
support for iSeries, but that's a moot point because there's no "official" 
NSFDB2 support at all in 7.0. You have to get in on a special program to 
use it in a post-beta format.

I guess the question now should be whether or not NSFDB2 for iSeries will 
be enabled whenever NSFDB2 officially goes live (7.0.1?).
