Yes, IBM officially rebranded DB2 to Db2 because . . . that's what they
do (apologies to GEICO). At least it's still pronounced the same so
that's at least one less question I have to field - unlike, say JES2 vs
JES3 ("Hey Karl, are we every going to upgrade to JES3?" - actual
question).

Maybe their marketing group should rename the company to HAL with
their push for cognitive computing?
They did produce a computer in the 9000 series at one time.
My apologies to Stanely Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke.
