XPost: comp.databases.ibm-db2

   OK ... so you cross-post to comp.databases.ibm-db2 and   
   comp.databases.oracle with a subject line of "db2 vs. Oracle", and then   
   you request no flame wars? I won't hold my breath!   
      
   At the SQL level (as you put it), DB2 employs ANSI SQL ... and is the   
   only RDMBS vendor to employ a stored procedure language that complies   
   with ANSI's PSM standard.
