Puff, huge lost for oracle, but the most important point here (for me) is that this will require to change your entire DBA team or give them a quick training on DB2. BTW, I have never used DB2 but, doesnt it only run on AIX and IBM boxes? I mean if you have Oracle running on Sun, HP or Win, you will have to change not only Oracle licenses. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Robert Freeman Sent: Miércoles, 07 de Octubre de 2009 12:03 p.m. To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Coke switches to DB2!! Any comments on this event? I'd be less shocked if they said SQL Server. I did some DB2 work maybe 2 years ago. Not a product I was all that impressed with. http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid41_gci1370485,00.html?track=NL-333&ad=729260&asrc=EM_NLN_9464382&uid=5340789# Robert G.
