Ken, I think the only similarity is that both use SQL. There's lots of setup stuff in the Windows version that you just don't do on iSeries. They are really very different products.

One thing that I recently found out ... DB2 on PC & *nix platforms will allow you to perform an alter table command while the table is being used.

DB2400 will not.

Frankly, the idea that a table can be changed while applications are using it, scares the bejeebers out of me.
