I would expect MySQL to be somewhat more miserly in resource consumption. Of course the old axiom, YMMV (your mileage may vary), will greatly apply here. Any database, vendor or open source, will run great, if it is well tuned. I've heard good things about JBoss and Tomcat, but alot of that rea

David: I got a bit confused with this discussion (it does happen quite often). I was thinking DB2-Distributed Services (not DB2 Connect). We can't move DB2 out of zOS. The reason is simple, zLinux does not have work load manager and we hit that database heavily with both On-line and batch users.

Have you contacted SuSE about the problems you're having? If there's something wrong with the update process, you should get them involved so that others don't have to go through this. After all, that's why you paid them for a maintenance agreement.
