It’s official. DB2 is now available for the Mac so, developers can now build DB2 applications on their Mac and deploy to Apple, Linux, Unix and windows servers.

As the title says, restore.exe (automated redirected restore with TSM support) has been tested against DB2 UDB V8.2 on Windows 2003 Server 64-bit (64-bit instance) and works. Next port will be to Linux 32-bit. Porting to 64-bit will be problematic due to lack of hardware. Similarly to AIX and Solaris.

For those of you using Linux on the Itanium-64 bit (IA64) platform, note that DB2 9.5 is not available for Linux on IA64. The last supported DB2 version for Linux on IA64 is DB2 9. This is because Linux on IA64 is not a high growth platform for IBM and in fact quite the opposite. Customers appear to be choosing Linux on x86-64 in droves but that is not the case for Linux on IA64 . Moreover, unless demands from the marketplace change, there is no plan for supporting DB2 for Linux on IA64 going forward.
Here are the links which suggest that DB2 9.5 is not available for the Linux on Itanium-64 bit (IA64) platform:

while DB2 9 is supported on Linux on Itanium-64 bit (IA64):

This is the newest release of Perl. The releases are starting to appear with more and more features that have been advertised for Perl 6.
The feature that is very nice about this is on linux, the release is installed in it’s own directory structure in /opt. It is up to the user to set the environment to use it. This allows the user to have more that one perl environment on the machine at one time.
Also the way to update is very sweet. The ppm program has both a shell and a graphical interface. The graphical has been written in tk and is well laid out. Very nice.
The Database Interfaces are also there for ODBC, Oracle and most of the Open Source types.
This is a very good release.
I am also checking out the ActiveState Python and Tcl releases as well. The reason for investigating these releases is that tools that we use can be customized to use these distributions for coherency and stability. Just thinking acrossed platforms – AIX, Windows, Sun, Linux, HP and the such.
