Yes, you did. DB2, as opposed to MySQL or PostgreSQL is a full featured alternative which is making inroads on Linux. Believe it or not, I see more and more of DB2 on Linux clients. However, it seems that IBM has neglected the sales of DB2 and that DB2 is not their strategic product, so there aren't many applications available to run against DB2. There are many applications available to run against MS SQL. And there are many MS SQL adept administrators and developers, which is unfortunately not the case with DB2. Anyway, the time will tell.
