It's complete BS, Tommy.

Dave can't answer my question, so he parrots something that he can't 
even defend.  I brought this issue up well over a year ago, and Dave 
couldn't answer it then either.

Note that I ask him to define "back door" and how DB2's ISAM access is a 
back door as opposed to a vendor-specific extension like other RDBMS's 
have.  He cannot.
