Company thought DB2 will be better than Oracle.

Company thought DB2 will be better than Oracle.
The bottom line is when you do select, the system crash.

I think it may take 4-5 years for DB2 to reach Oracle standard.

Hmmm. So ... no details. No version/release levels ... no platform
information. No details on what you were trying to do. No details on the
application. No details on the crash. No details on what the corrective
fix was. You're obviously more experienced with Oracle. And you're ready
to pass judgement on DB2 already?

In the past, I had experienced DB2 V7.2 on Linux RH7.2 instance
crashing just from select too. IBM tech support wasn't able to fix
that so I had to find a workaround on my own at the app level. Hope
that V8.1 is more stable :-))

DB2 version 8.1 works quite well on RH Linux 7.2 or 8. I don't for one
second believe your version of what happened.

Let's put it this way ... I'd like to hear the entire story. The
application, the version/release levels, the PMR number, the error
message, the select statement, full details on the hardware and software
environment, the os levels, all patch levels, etc.

But not as quickly as a certain large HR software company passed
judgement on a certain RDBMS vendor :-)

x-post trimmed in the interests of sanity...
I thought DB2 didn't need DBAs, that was just another
"expensive option" needed only for Oracle?
Tsk,tsk, there goes the TCO crap...

Is there any Transparent Application Fallover in DB2? IBM should copy it from Informix till it resolves DB2 instance disappearance issue. The best part of it is db2start command will start everything without any problem as if DB2 has forget and forgiven everything. Peter

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
