Neil, care to share any of these private mails. Or can someone from IBM mail me. We moved our SAP db to DB2 just because of no support. Suddenly we get this announcement and IDS is off the chart for later versions of SAP. It's looking like we may continue our original plans (which were halted by this announcement) to migrate all databases to DB2 otherwise. If newer versions of SAP were certified on IDS then we would probably stay with it. TIA, Peter.
