The iSeries - or for us Luddites, the AS/400 <g> - has always had a database as part of OS/400. At some point IBM decided to give that database a name and as other db's on the PC and mainframe were called DB2, the obvious choice to conjure up an image of "oneness" was to call it DB2/400. In fact it was pretty much similar to the S/38 database. But this only lead to confusion as DB2/400 is nothing like DB2 on the PC or DB2 on the mainframe. I am sure others on this list will provide more in depth knowledge of the subject. It begs the obvious question: was there ever a DB1?
