It seems that the version of Express-C for OSX is still beta..is there any official feed where the release will be announced or should I just occasionally check this? We would like to start using DB2 instead of MySQL in our offerings but we really need a cross-platform database.

Now the major problem with the current DB2 for OSX is that it is only 64 bit. I guess the reason of that is the Java version since only 64 bit Macs support Java SE 1.6. Anyway this means it cannot be used on normal desktops, MacBook Pros or MacBooks and that is a bit of bugger. Is there any plans to release also a 32-bit version?

You may recall how more than a year ago I blogged about how the work on porting DB2 to the Mac had started. It took admittedly longer than expected […]

Tapping fingers… Staring out window…

Lay it on us.

is there something new with DB2 on OS X? What is the current state? Can we expect something this year?

I can deal with that!

I hate to ruin my Mac by installing windows on it. I have enough of that crap at work. You had a post earlier in this thread where you said that CC will not ship for the Mac. I suppose there will be a GUI, what will it be, any info? Data Studio maybe?
