About UDB2.com and us, whoever we are

We put the "U" in DB2 UDB!

DB2 UDB - Universal Database from IBM. It's portable, stable, secure, cross-platform, multi-tier and all that good stuff. This website will be developed slowly as an informal place for news and views, hints and tips from independent professionals working with it.
The site has no financial model, but it might evolve in traditional Net fashion, providing free hints and tips by unpaid professionals in their spare time, supported as usual by selling software, recommending books, or just selling a bit of advertising space. Or not. Maybe if it grows well enough in a year or so we'll try to get contributions, financial or otherwise, from IBM where Elmbronze Ltd is a PiD or whatever they call it these days.

We hope to have articles and idiot guides on DB2 and DB2 Connect from fellow conspirator Mark (an Ozzie, but apart from that he's sound!), one of the most knowledgeable and helpful people I was lucky to work with. And vetted articles on topics like migrating LOBS - from others we know - and don't know yet. Maybe there'll be a few CVs to pick over ...
Anyway, if you expect nothing then you're seldom disappointed, and this might just be a useful resource for us and other DB2 DBA's and techies.
