Re: Company thought DB2 will be better than Oracle.
We are certainly looking at and protoythe high availability through replication (HDR) technology we acquired with Informix.

DB2 also supports split/mirror: http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/0204quazi/0204quazi.html as well as log shipping: http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/dmdd/library/techarticle/0304mcinnis/0304mcinnis.html These are all low-tech, simple solutions. For more formal approaches, DB2 supports High Availability through the following packages / methods: HACMP on AIX Microsoft Cluster server on Windows Sun Cluster on Solaris Veritas Cluster Server on Solaris Heartbeat on Linux Steeleye on Linux Serviceguard on HP Peter wrote: > Is there any Transparent Application Fallover in DB2?
