I believe they have a form of DB2 called DB/400 (or something like that). I don't think Oracle runs on this platform. The Progress RDMS ran on it at one time, but it was a mess, so not anymore.
My $0.02 worth, Ken Janusz, CPIM ----- Original Message ----- To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 9:08 AM Does it have DB2 as the database? -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 8:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L We are going through a merger, and management is looking to eliminate positions. Here is a brief summary of my discussion with the new director of IT: Director: "Back when I we were using an AS400, we didn't need a DBA." Me: "Then you probably were just using files." Director: "No, it was a database." Me: "Could you issue SQL commands?" Director: "Yes. But we didn't need a DBA. I guess it was just one of those mysteries of life." My thoughts are that he is using the term "database" in the generic sense of the word (our "files" are our database), or he was using some proprietary database that doesn't even begin to compare to Oracle. For those of you who know AS400s, I would appreciate some insight that would demonstrate why he needs to keep me as a DBA.
