been too long since I've done any DB2 work for me to remember it.. I was barely involved in the work then, primarily the Oracle DBA.
As for the site licenses... these are likely to have been in place for a LONG time (I left Citibank in '98) and the company I work for now has been around for a lot of years. I suppose it's possible they don't do them anymore, but since they are already in place, they have to keep it going. --- Ryan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > have you used DB2?
