There is still some market for products to be developed at customer sites, for
example DB2 related tools ... the existing DB2 utilities which are part of the
DB2 product focus on DB2 admins' needs. The application people need tools that
enable them to do fast unload/reloads of test data in different formats and to
support them when migrating data from different sources or when doing
structurals changes to the DB2 tables etc.

I've built such tools for my customer, and they are used not only in test
environments but also in production batch runs. There are no tools with similar
function and power from IBM. The IBM/DB2 support for application development
could be much better; because it is not, we jump in.

Kind regards

Bernd
