Re: Will DB2 be moved to PASE also?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I do not see that happening in the short term.  PASE is an environment, 
hence the E in PASE.  Firing up an environment every time to access a DB2 
function can't be good for performance.

But are you saying that IBM is using PASE to transition us from i5/os to 
Linux or AIX?  I sometimes wonder myself.  New applications that get a lot 
of push from IBM are primarily written in PASE, like IP Telephony and PHP. 
 I feel that doing the additional work, and moving them to truly native, 
like Domino, makes a far superior product.  Converting from native to PASE 
however is merely a preparatory step to abandoning i5/OS altogether, like 
IBM did with Tivoli Storage Manager.  If IBM did convert DB2 to run under 
PASE I would feel that would be the LAST release of i5/OS.
