This is a loaded question. The simply answer is it depends. 1) it depends on what platform you are talking about. Is it z\OS or USS (Linux on the IBM Iron horse)
2) Then it depends on what the DBMS is supporting. Is it a transaction based application where response time is important, is it a query type of application? 3) What kind of infrastructure do you have in place right now. Are you already running DB2 or Oracle or IMS etc. 4) And finally, but no less important is why the change. Is it because of reliability? Cost? DR or what. Once these questions are asked/answered you can get a better idea on where to go from here Hope this helps and if you want you can contact me off line Robert Galambos CIPP/C CIPP/IT Compuware Senior Technical Specialist IBM Certified Database Associate IBM Certified DB2 9 for z/OS Database Administration Certified Information Privacy Professional/Canada Certified Information Privacy Professional/Information Technology robert.galam...@compuware.com Tel: +1 905 886 7000 Toll Free: +1 800 263 7189 Fax: +1 905 886 7023 Quebec: +1 877-281-1888 Le contenu de ce courriel s'adresse au destinataire seulement.
