Webcast: Moving apps from Oracle to DB2

There's an interesting webcast on July 17:

Enabling applications from Oracle to DB2 the easy way
- A DB2 Chat with the Lab

DB2 9.7 for Linux, Unix, and Windows has out-of-the-box support for Oracle's SQL and PL/SQL dialects. This allows many applications written against Oracle to execute virtually unchanged against DB2. To learn more, join the experts: Sal Vella - IBM, Serge Rielau - IBM, Bernie OConnor - Anixter, Brett Annadale - AnnanTech, and Gene Ostrovsky - ExactCost.

Date/Time: JUL-16-2009 11:30 AM ET
Duration: 90 Minutes
