Hi Christian, thanks for your reply.
I will provide this info to my client and discuss with them what they want
to do.
As they already have all their software on DB2, they wanted to keep
everything on the same dbms to keep maintenance tasks as low as possible.
We started with postgres as a GIS prototype, but now they want to move
forward with the project, so migrating to DB2 is an option.
Can you give more details on what the commercial support may include? I
need to evaluate the alternatives in case that a new version of DB2 is
released in the future that is not supported by the current version of the
extension.
Thanks again.
Best,
Sebastián.
