RE: IBM has a new database!

It's a wonder that he didn't ask you who makes the iSeries...

Got a cold call from "Cory" who works for IBM software sales about a new
database that they are introducing.

He asked me what database management tools we used. I told him that we ran
an iSeries and have no need to use database management tools - the system
cleans up after itself and allocates space as needed, yada-yada-yada.

He asked if I had ever heard of DB2. I said 'yes, we use DB2/400'. He
asked what version of DB2 that was, because version 9.7 is available now.

Woo hoo!
