Happy 25th birthday, DB2!
June 16th, 2008
It’s not every day that I realize that a codebase of a product that’s still in heavy use is older than I am. Well, technically at least. It’s officially 25 years old, but work began about 4 years earlier so the codebase should be about 29 years old, which makes me younger than DB2 :-)
The announcement for Database 2 was made on June 7, 1983.
