I believe that it would be in the long term best interests of IBM corp though not necessarily of IBM DB2. I dislike making it economically unjustifiable to move Oracle workload to the z series and feel that in a sense it brings up the possibility of anti-trust considerations in terms of the other vendors being denied access to a facility. Tied sales tend to get the interest of both US and European regulators. > >/Rant >I'd really like to do LDAP, but it requires DB2 to be useful.
