Show Host Scott Hayes CommentaryAs if DB2 being renamed to Db2 isn't shocking enough, Melanie Stopfer aka @mstopfer1 announced her retirement from IbM today effective 31 July 2017 on Twitter:
While all the Db2 V11.1.2.2 news is exciting, I'm practically in tears over Melanie's retirement! Who will harass me at IDUG conferences? Well, probably plenty of you. But who will teach us upgrade best practices? Fortunately, Melanie has blessed us with many guest appearances on The DB2Night Show and her legacy as the queen of DB2 LUW will live on forever! Thank you, my queen, and enjoy your retirement while the rest of us struggle with "b " vs "B ". A rhetorical question - did IBM think through SEO search implications with this new renaming scheme? Search engines perform case insensitive searches and searches on "DB2 ", the new "Db2 ", or "db2 " alone return OS platform ambiguous results. #FAIL Useful LinksOur guests shared a number of helpful hyperlinks to additional information or resources during today's show. Several are listed below for your convenience:Upcoming Shows - None!- Season #8 is over!
- Watch Replays! aka Reruns! All the best shows for Db2 V11.1 are highlighted on our show home page.
- Season #9 will likely start in September 2017.
