Mark,

With regard to the i5/OS having a real RDBMS... its getting there. But it will be much easier and faster for IBM to get DB2/400 close or even with the real DB2s than it will be for the i5/OS programmers, application designers, etc., to get into, at least, the 1990's with regard to modern RDBMS programming/design techniques. It was hard for the mainframers to understand and embrace the real DB2 in VM, VSE and MVS and get away from flat and/or multi-member files, record-at-a-time processing and giving up handling database work in their programs, and more. They sounded just like and kicked just like many of the folks on here. Eventually, I'm confident the folks here will modernize their thinking/acting if the platform can stay viable for another 10-15 years. I hope so.
