Hi every one,

I am running a fleet of DB2 server from version 7 to 9.7 in Windows Environment and to automate management and maintenance of them or even writing small applications for reports I need to use scripting languages. I would be grateful if you can share your own experiences to help me select one language among PowerSheel, Perl and Python as a standard scripting language for our environment. Please note that environment is Windows.

Thanks for your help

Ah, starting to miss REXX are we? Personally I try to use SQL as much as possible to generate a O.S. independant command files.
To answer your question: I'd go for a language that is supported by the same platforms as DB2 itself. That rules powershell out. I do not master perl or python, but python has a better reputation, so I'd go for python.
