Hi All,

I need to download DB2 V8.2 base version (ESE) on AIX for one my projects. Can anyone please route me to the right place from where I can quickly start the download. The FTP site from where I used to download always seems to have missed the V8.2.


Your early help is always appreciated.

IBM guys looking for a solution here... i suppose its always the other way round

IBM has a lot of DB2 DBA's doing internal work or acting as consultants to customers that are no different than any other customer. Contrary to popular believe, just because you work for IBM does not necessarily mean you have any special access to DB2 Support (unless you happen to work for the DB2 development or support lab).

Hi Rahul,
I am using this site for discussing any issues related to DB2-UDB since 2003 when I was not an IBMer. In the process, I came across many great DBAs through this site who are always willing to give and take any information related to DB2-UDB. Being an IBMer can't stop me asking a quick question at this site if that helps my client to fix the problem ASAP. On the day I posted the question in DB Forum, I was routed to the right link within 45 Minutes by a private-message from another Great DB Forum Guru who also happens to be an Ex-IBMer. The world is small and we should be looking for solution to problems always to make things simpler. Use the network as much possible to share information !!
