DB2 Web Query Chat Transcript Ready
Yesterday's iSociety fireside chat on DB2 Web Query, featuring IBM's DB2 Product Marketing Manager Doug Mack, is now available in transcript form. If you're wondering about DB2 Web Query and how it might replace Query/400, this transcript is a good place to start. In addition to some clarifying answers from Mack, there are links to key IBM Web pages and FAQs.
Here are a couple of snips:
Question from Alison: how much does it cost?Drmack says: The price for DB2 Web Query - first off, there is a server component based on processor tier ranging from $1,600 to $48,000. With this you get a certain number of users, also dependent on the tier. The good news is that if you are a Query/400 licensee and current on SW maintenance, you can upgrade to this at no charge. From there, you can add additional features - more named users, OLAP or active reports option.
. . .
Question from Lwright: What is the major difference between DB2 Web Query vs Query 400?
Drmack says: major differences...hmm....this is a long topic. First off, it is incredibly more powerful in terms of the kinds of reports you can develop. Parameterized reports can minimize the number of total reports to maintain. There is direct to Excel output. There is dashboarding and slicing and dicing of the data. Over 100 different charts

DB2 Web Query will ship September 14.
