Uniface Corp, Alameda, California claims to be the first proprietary language vendor to support IBM Corp’s new DB2/6000 relational database for AIX Unix on the RS/6000. The company says it is developing an interface that links the Uniface development system with DB2/6000 servers and host databases, providing transparent read/write access to DB2/6000 databases, complete support for all DB2 features, including host and DB2 security, error handling, data integrity and recoverability. It will support all DB2 data types and offer the ability to develop stand-alone applications using OSF/Motif, client-server applications that link MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2 and Unix clients to DB2/6000 servers across local area networks, and will offer full support of IBM Distributed Database Connection Services/6000, the company says. The DB2/6000 Interface Driver will be out 60 days after IBM ships DB2/6000; no price till then.
