SHOULD YOU USE DB2 WEB QUERY?
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do I have time to rename all our files in a new structure on the IFS before we can query them?
2. Would a tool with Windows, Web, and 5250 user interfaces satisfy even more of our users?
3. Would it save time to have integrated e-mail and FTP for report distribution?
4. Can it output directly to MS Access, CSV, TXT?
5. Since everyone who creates and runs queries counts as a named user, how much will we really need to spend to meet our needs?
Know your options BEFORE you upgrade!

Project ECLipz Surfaces, But Not the Way You Think
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Tongues are a-wagging out there again in IT Land about IBM's ongoing 'Project ECLipz' server convergence initiative. In a PDF document that has an internal name 'ECLipz-DCT,' one of the key IBMers responsible for the decimal floating point unit inside the current Power6 and future z6 mainframe engines compares and contrasts the two processors.
