Database platforms
Three database platforms been supported: DB2® for Linux®, UNIX, and Windows, DB2 for z/OS® and Oracle.
There are essentially no differences between these platforms, because
all the database objects have the same definitions, but, for technical
reasons, each database has its own characteristics, and there are
some small differences in DDL.
For detailed information, see the topics in Installing and in the Platform and core features overview.
