Just wondering was there ever was a DB1 or DB, and isnt DB just short
for Database.
As I recall the S38 AS400 Sysi never had a name for the file database,
they were completely integrated systems and one never even thought of
ISAM VTAM etc.
The beauty of having just one addressable data space even made disk
drives something one never considered.
Then along came the IFS, a backward step imo, but necessary to remain in
touch with other systems.
To me the hardware, database, and even software were all just one thing
called S38 AS400 or Sys i5
IMO a lot of IBMers , those from the Big Iron side . never truly
understood this. so I guess that is the reason for all the name changes.
apologies David . should be on midrange list.

The current proper name for IBM i database is "Db2 for IBM i", or
shortened, simply Db2.
