Re: Running SQL Workbench console from PASE

Well said Jim.  And, in the open source world it should be the community 
that "hypes" the code in any case.  Having been on this bus since at 
least 2003 and seeing IBM begin to make moves toward embracing OSS  
(Apache, PHP and then the absolutely breakneck pace set over the past 
two years) I couldn't be happier.  IBM supplied distributions on a 
platform I love!  What more could you ask for?

The fact that there are many more "parking places" set aside in the 
product means that there is more to come.  If anybody wants a two-day 
onsite grounding it what is currently released you may want to check out 
the Common offering in December: "IBM i Forum: New Open Source 
Languages" http://common.org/index.php/focused-education-series.html
