There are 3 flavors of DB2 nowadays....
DB2 for VM and VSE
DB2/UDB (all ascii platforms)
DB2/ for z/OS
All DB2/UDBs have the same code base. Some hardware differences, but
have the same features.
DB2 for z/OS has a large subset of DB2/UDB, PLUS unique things for the
big MVS guys.
There use to be DB2 Parallel Edition, which was for RS/6000. But that
code base has been folded into DB2/UDB and DB2 for z/OS.
Depends on what subset of DB2 for z/OS that you are using, dictates how
hard a conversion to DB2/UDB would be. Plus, DB2 on the 390 side, can
back up to mainframe tape drives with your TLMS. Robotic tape systems,
virtual tape systems, etc. There are a lot of utility and support
functions on the DB2/UDB side that has to be redone, or rebought.

Hi Mark.
What "features" do you mean? I always think that z/os db2 everytime far
behind pc/db2.
It's not me that wants them, it's the customers and IBM employees that do.
I've never even installed DB2 on Linux. All I know is that a recent IBM
meeting, someone who works with both versions talked about their being real
differences between them.
