I asked several questions.  You answered none.  Your sole argument is
that (according to you) the rest of the world doesn't think the iSeries
is relational.  Feel free to offer even one factual detail as to why
that is, or better yet, answer my questions.

I'll repeat them:

1. Please define exactly what characteristic gives a file "depth", and
how that is not supported in DB2.

2. Name a database that is relational.  Identify which of the Codd rules
it follows that DB2/400 does not.

3. Where don't we compete?  As far as I know, DB2/400 is completely ANSI
compliant.  Please explain where it falls short.

Unless you answer my questions with as civil a tone as I presented them,
I ask you to at least exercise a modicum of self-restraint and leave my
name and your personal attacks on me out of further emails.
