troll

you could at least make your trolling a little less obvious: - stating that the number of books = product viability is pretty primitive logic. I think most of us are aware of the connection between name recognition and massive book purchases by aspiring technologies (see all the php/mysql books for dummies, etc). - stating that ibm is only good at mainframes will be caught by anyone paying attention to the industry - and familiar with Power5/PowerPC CPUs, pseries & xseries hardware, websphere, db2, etc. - stating that you actually like db2 and then complaining about ibm's marketing is bizarre. The only database that's got more low-key marketing than db2 is postgresql - and it doesn't have a vendor! Well, ok - Informix marketing is even more low-key, but that's a separate issue. Isn't there some other group you could go spend time at for a while? Perhaps go to some islamic/hindi/budhist group and tell them that their god is irrelevant because you found more 10x as many books on christianity as their religion?

I like Oracle but I think their marketing nearly non-existant and openly criticize it in almost every public speaking engagement. I didn't take a loyalty oath and neither did anyone else here unless they are a paid employee or shill for a software developer or reseller. We should all feel free to applaud the best and condemn the worst. > Perhaps go to some islamic/hindi/budhist group and tell them that > their god is irrelevant because you found more 10x as many books on > christianity as their religion? Software is a tool ... not a religion. I'd suggest some a scotch and some perspective if you can truly equate the two in your mind. -- Daniel A.

Sure, they haven't reached "commercial release" status now but they definitely look like a commercial vendor to me! -- Matt Emmerton

Clear enough? > - stating that you actually like db2 and then complaining about ibm's > marketing is bizarre. No. You're just not intelligent enough to understand it. > > Isn't there some other group you could go spend time at for a while? Yes. It's called comp.databases.oracle.server. Where I am now. It's you effing deranged lot that keep coming here with these piss poor and infantile attempts at ad-hominem attacks. You don't see me starting threads in db2 groups, do you nuggy-boy? So, piss off you and your veiled threats before I clip you across the ears. > Perhaps go to some islamic/hindi/budhist group and tell them that their > god is irrelevant because you found more 10x as many books on > christianity as their religion? I don't start threads outside of c.d.o.s., moron. You got the wrong person.
