Hosting a DB on the Iseries for PC Software

Glen,

Wow, a conversion from Oracle to DB2; usually its the other way.  I
think you'll find that DB2 on the iSeries will do very well for your
conversion from Oracle.  

To piggy-back on what others have said, you'll find the SQL to be very
much the same although Oracle DDL has some commands that do things a bit
differently than DB2.   To me, if you can compare the a representative
sample of the Oracle scripts' DDL and the application's DML against a
DB2 table for each, you'll probably find your "gotchas"; kinda laborious
but will tell you lots.

I try to use the iSeries DB2 and SQL(DML and DDL) everywhere I can
since I'm used to DB2 from my OS/2, VM & MVS days.   Even Mickysofts'
.NET to DB2/400 works well.

Take care,

Dave Odom
