Re: SQL and DB2 for iSeries - was: Creating dds source from SQL Tables

Birgitta,

We are in a discussion about Databases and DB2 on iSeries.
Same old 'we are better then you' stuff  etc.

while other SQL implementations wouldn't reach 70%?

thanks

But for DB2 UDB for iSeries / System i statistics are gathered, indexes are

out-balanced, space for the tables is reseverd and maintained, but all is
done automatically.

BTW DB2 UDB for iSeries / System i under Release V5R4 is the only database
that covers the latest SQL-Standard SQL-2003 to 100%. Oracle for example

even with its latest version only covers around 70% and all other databases

less.

In this way other database must have a lot of non-standard features, either.

How else interested parties could be convinced to prefer this database or
any other.

In this way why should our database not be a "standard" database?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
