Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that IBM never releases a ?.0
of DB2 - 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 8.1 now 9.1
Maybe they know no-one trusts a "dot.zero" release.
Then again, given what a f*ck-up 6.1 was with "star-join" ...
I noticed our DBAs were out of the office all day yesterday - free
breakfast has to be better than going to work and perusing the web.

IIRC, ?.0 release of anything was barely better than beta code and
usually got a massive load of fixes before anyone could really expect
any useful value. And the ?.8 release was the final release and
'functional stabilization' time.
