RE: [Maybe Spam] Re: Informix WGE with IBM DB2 Gold Bundle
True, I was told by IBM very recently, that it is built into DB2 - version 8.2 if I remember correctly (modeled after Informix like you mentioned) -----Original Message----- From: owner-informix-list@iiug.org [mailto:owner-informix-list@iiug.org] On Behalf Of Data Goob Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 2:16 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: [Maybe Spam] Re: Informix WGE with IBM DB2 Gold Bundle It's my understanding that replication is an up-and-coming feature for DB2 in Stinger, modeled after Informix HADR: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/data/db2/stinger/stingerwhatsnew.pdf ( pages 3 and 33 ) Also, you can run a simple search on www.ibm.com by typing in the word 'stinger'. Lots of information. The real question is whether you really need database-driven replication, but that's probably another thread. At any rate, you should pay particular attention to the differences in DB2 WGE vs EEE. "rkusenet" <rkusenet@sympatico.ca> wrote in message news:2kbg43Fege4U1@uni-berlin.de... > Guess what.

Where does this "[Maybe Spam]" keep creeping into the subjects? Is someone replying to a spam-filtered message and neglecting to clean up?
