Bill,
What I'd like is to have two options:
1. Use the proprietary ADSM/TSM database.
Simple to maintain.
2. Use an SQLxx compliant database.
Now if I'm a DB2 shop I could use DB2.
If I prefer Oracle or Sybase, ditto.
Anything else: not enough market share to drive development.
That's what I'd like.
