Re: DB2/400 comparisons with other relational databases (specifically SQLServer)


A quick anecdote,     A couple of years ago I was teaching SQL up in the
northwest,   I had in the class a person who,  about 6 months earlier,
worked for M$.     It was during their  AS/400 -> SQL Server conversion
days.

He said that when they put their data bases on SQL Server (don't know how
many servers)  they tried putting on some DB Integrity Constraints,    Well
the SQL Servers, he told me,  ran for over 2-3 days trying just to set a
sync point to apply the constraint.   They never reached it,   had to
cancel it and he told me that when he left they were running without those
constraints.
BTW,   He said that the AS/400's they had at the time (that he worked on)
didn't have any problem with the constraints.

I thought it was funny.
