Re: DB2 With Domino 8

[Robert Laing <rlaing@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree that LEI/DECS are not tools to build fully functional applications 
around.

We have used JDBC to move data back/forth between Domino and iSeries DB2 
and that works well.

Being able to store data directly in DB2 tables is where we should be 
heading though.  Unfortunate decision by IBM and the Domino blog mentions 
that the IBM iSeries crowd bought into that decision -- it would be nice 
to hear from the iSeries side to hear the reasons.  If DB2 UDB on the 
iSeries is drastically different that DB2 on other platforms I can 
understand why DB2 implementation on the iSeries is delayed -- but at 
least provide a statement of direction...

Also, just wanted to comment; I too am concerned that the iSeries platform 

is 
being shunned. "Other important database work???? Work arounds include 
LEI/DEC?"
We tried using these so called tools  and in my opion you can not build 
solid
bullet proof applications with work-around tools.

Bob, I'm not sure how I missed that one (since I have that in my RSS
reader...). I'm going to throw in my 2cents now.

Thanks - glad to have some official word.
