Re: well written sql article

What I see from the pricing of the p5 is that DB2 is where the money
is at for IBM. The p5 hardware and OS is priced as a loss leader to
get customers to pay $124 ( small systems ) and $311 ( big systems )
for every user of DB2.  Would be great if this was the pricing scheme
for the i5.
