IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition

The IBM Database Enterprise Developer Edition product enables an application developer to design, build, and prototype applications for deployment on any of the IBM Information Management client or server platforms. Using the software that comes with this product, you can develop and test applications that run on one operating system and access databases on the same or on a different operating system. For example, you can create an application that runs on a Windows operating system but accesses a database on a UNIX operating system such as AIX®.
