In that regards, IBM to me has always been a shocking example with
WebSphere, MQ, Tivoli Access Manager and Lotus Notes, the products I have
had the misfortune to work with. So what about DB2? Apperantly, IBM (with
it's Informix and DB2 product lines) has about as much market share as
Oracle, yet I have never come across either in the wild. (Informix share
is supposed to be tiny, DB2 accounts for 90% of IBM's one-third share of
the RDBMS market)
This if of course share of the sales, not installations!
Who uses DB2? Is it any good, or much like IBM's other software?
I see many large scale sites that run UDB/DB2. I know of at least three
sites that have, easily, 1000 UDB instances running. I lot of people
use it large scale. I don't know of many people that use it for smaller
projects, and installations.
Personally I haven't used it much, Postgres does what I need.
