Re: Standalone DB2 vs. Embedded DB2

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

DB2 for i is a separate product from DB2 for LUW and/or DB2 for z.

DB2 for i version matches the OS version.

Many features all available in all platforms, but some are not (many
because the i doesn't need it due to the architecture.)

Look here:
