I am not RT representative nor do I know their exact plan, but I think it will come sooner or later, as DB2 is plain and simple second (not in terms of Oracle being No. 1 :-) "big" db player. In future we should see dynamic components and per component pricing, so you will not see oracle hardwired into /Command. You will be able to buy /Oracle, /DB2, /ODBC, /library, all of them, some of them, or none of them .... or so I imagine the future of rebol component model ... Cheers, -pekr-

If I understood Rebol/Command correctly, if you connected to your database via ODBC, then Rebol/Command would connect to it. I have sent DDL/SQL to a UDB (DB2 Universal) database and it worked via ODBC. This was with the beta version of R/C. Don't know if the commercial product has differed. - Michael Jelinek Petr Krenzelok <[Petr--Krenzelok--trz--cz]>@rebol.com on 10/24/2000 11:42:54 PM From: Petr Krenzelok <[Petr--Krenzelok--trz--cz]>@rebol.com on 10/24/2000 11:42 PM Please respond to [rebol-list--rebol--com] Sent by: [rebol-bounce--rebol--com] To: [rebol-list--rebol--com] cc: Subject: [REBOL] Re: Rebol/Command and DB2 Connection xpert wrote:
