Re: Is IBM actually doing something with IDS?

No. The IIUG version is an altered product.

Let's recall what you were asking for. You want a "no charge, unlimited time"
license to develop applications for the database. The "developing
applications" point was important for you to make, because it means you can't
live with a time-limited evaluation version, because you can't develop an
application in three months. Well, fair enough, the IIUG version lets you
develop an application in as much time as you need. You certainly don't need
more than 5 concurrent users to *develop* an application. You certainly don't
need ER or HDR to *develop* an application.

How do the "alterations" in the IIUG version restrict your ability to
*develop* an IDS application?
