IBM sets DB2 database free

Windows XP Home Edition: Don't waste a lot of time downloading the 370 meg file if you have Windows XP Home edition .. DB2 Express - C will NOT install.
Seems you need Windows XP Pro, or Windows 2003 to run the program. You don't find that out until after you download and try to install the product. They do mention it in the forums at IBM, but not in the product info or download pages.; Posted by: babyboomer57 Posted on: 02/01/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
