In an attempt to make itself more appealing to those application developers who might otherwise have chosen other companies or even open source alternatives, IBM has announced that it’s releasing a free version of the DB2 database.
Thus, the DB2 Express-C is available now to customers and developers as a free download, IBM says. The product provides the same core DB2 data server in a smaller package specifically designed for use in software development, deployment, redistribution and embedding within applications, IBM said, according to Techworld.
IBM’s DB2 Universal Database Express-C is available for Linux and Windows and can run on up to two dual-core processor servers with up to 4GB of memory. The software has no limits on concurrent user connections or on database size, unlike free databases from Oracle Corp. and Microsoft Corp. Those databases can only run on single-processor machines.
