there was the tech. transfer of system/r (original relational/sql dbms done on vm) from research to endicott for (vm) sql/ds http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#systemr one of the people in this meeting http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13 commented that they had handled much of the tech. transfer from endicott back to stl for db2. can you say shelby? ... toronto lab. was given job of writing a relational database system in C for os2. ported then to aix3.2 (crosswinds?). eventually ported to other unixes ... and called db2. i vaguely remember toronto lab. trying to recruit people from univ. of toronto that understood relational database systems. previous post mentioning shelby http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005b.html#1 Foreign key in Oracle Sql random references from around the web curtesy quick use of search engine: DB2 Universal Database for Linux, UNIX and Windows http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2/udb/support/downloadv7.html Is DB2 Right for You? http://www.windowsitpro.com/Windows/Article/ArticleID/2864/2864.html A quick overview of the different flavors of DB2, what they're good for, and where you'll find resources to help you learn and leverage. http://www.devx.com/ibm/Article/17647 ... DB2 Is the Next Logical eServer Convergence http://www.itjungle.com/tfh/tfh020705-story01.html from above: IBM has at three distinct relational databases sold under the umbrella name of DB2: one for OS/400 servers, one for mainframe servers, and another for Windows, Unix, and Linux servers. Having watched the eServer hardware platform consolidation, which could result in the mainframe merging into the Power server line in coming years, I'm wondering if DB2 is next. I think it's time for IBM to revisit its relational database past, and dig deeper into the first such software it ever sold: the integrated database in the System/38 and the AS/400. ... snip ... so why is it called "DB2" ... possibly because eagle was going to be called "DB1" (and canceled before it is ever shipped) ... some discussion of eagle, system/r, and db2 at the system/r reunion in 1995 http://www.mcjones.org/System_R/SQL_Reunion_95/sqlr95-DB2.html in the above ... a name of a person mentioned in this post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/95.html#13 also shows up (with regard to db2). the reunion reference also mentions a lot of the people hired away to tandem. the above reunion article also mentions how expensive 3270 terminals were. they were perceived to be expensive capital equipment (and internally required vp executive approval to order). one of the things that helped break that impression was that we did a 3-year, fully depreciated analysis for 3270 terminals which came out to be about the same as monthly cost of business phone (which went on every employees desk as a matter of course ... and you actually had 3270 terminls doing service for 10 years or more). it also mentions gray's mipenvy article, random past posts on the subject: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001g.html#7 New IBM history book out http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002k.html#39 Vnet : Unbelievable http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002o.html#73 They Got Mail: Not-So-Fond Farewells http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002o.html#74 They Got Mail: Not-So-Fond Farewells http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002o.html#75 They Got Mail: Not-So-Fond Farewells http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004c.html#15 If there had been no MS-DOS http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004l.html#28 Shipwrecks http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004l.html#31 Shipwrecks http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005c.html#50 [Lit.] Buffer overruns note this earlier eagle reference ... is different than the project eagle mention here for 1996 announce: http://www.dbmsmag.com/9604d13.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
