The name change was much bandied about at SHARE in Providence. I for one have gotten over my indignation and am ready to move on. If you really want to be offended by an assault on the sensibilities, how about the fact that there never was a D(bee)1? The product was spawned in an era where calling anything '2' gave it a veneer of respectability as if it were a new and improved version of some mythical precursor. That was implicitly fake news, which we now know is reprehensible skullduggery.

Both DB2 and Db2 are registered trademarks of IBM (at least in the US). See https://www.ibm.com/legal/us/en/copytrade.shtml#section-D I see, though, that all the other DB2-related trademarks use the DB2 form of the name, at least for now :) -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
