DB2 UDB runs on HPUX, Sun Solaris, AIX, Unix, Linux, NT, Windows (some versions as far back as 3.1), OS/2. Then there is DB2 UDB for OS/400. Then there is DB2 UDB for MVS. There are three different flavors of DB2, the primary being the product out of Toronto, that runs on everything outside of the AS/400 and S/390 world. I did not see the comparison that you mention, but if is was Oracle 9i against the 400, then it wasn't fair. =========================================================== R.
