I don't have access to IBM's current UK prices, but if anyone has and wants to use me as an anonymising buffer, I'm happy to do that.
It's better to price up a complete DB2 system - not just a primary licence but also the little bits and pieces that most people use. The reason is that prices that have low numerical value are disproprtionately affected by IBM rounding up to the nearest (UK) pound. It's also a reason why IBM's periodic "rolling in" of functionality is especially good news for UK users - the rounding errors are lost in the consolidation. In some cases, a few years ago, the per-MSU price of low cost items was more than double the US price in the UK because of this effect. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.co.uk +44 7833 654 800 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
