RE: DB2

[Richard Reeve <richreeve@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all that responded.  As I am in the job market (and not having much 
luck) I am often asked if and how long I have worked with DB2.  Now, I know the 
answer!

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?

How many years has the 400 been using db2? Is that an option or is it the
database management software that every machine is shipped with?
