>Re: DB2 prices, by the way, what you describe isn't necessarily so either. >VWLC means a lot of DB2 customers have seen their monthly license charges decrease (around about Version 7 for most shops I think, depending on when their last OS/390 LPAR disappeared and when they cut the first SCRT reports). The zIIP technology is another reason you might see a decrease in DB2 MLC starting with Version 8.
Timothy! Timothy! Get out of your ivory tower and stop drinking the Kool-aid. We are not seeing any of these so-called price reductions! We are seeing longer transaction times. So, our prices are going up! On a cost-per-butt basis, it's still cheaper. But, the costs are non-zero. Therefore, they are going up! . Questions? Concerns?
