Having seduced over 1m new users to OS/2 2.0 with the implication that they should adopt Database Manager with it – it actually came bundled in OS/2 Extended Edition – IBM Corp is planning to replace the database with the one it is developing for AIX, according to Computerworld. The paper says that on September 22, IBM will give a more specific delivery timeframe for the AIX database and that it will become the common database for both environments. The launch is also expected to include CICS/AIX, new high, mid-range and low-end RS/6000s, some with a 100MHz Rios RISC, and additional clustering software for the RS/6000 line.
