Under Linux emu I guess? Their product literature doesn't seem to claim it, so I never really looked at it. I suspect there are a lot of folks like me who do the same thing - making it difficult to really gauge demand. I know I would sure like a native version of 'DB2 Connect' for FreeBSD, but the numbers quoted above sound about like the numbers quoted when someone asked about DB2 connect a year or two ago. -WillReceived on Tue Jun 29 2004 - 12:38:34 UTC
