IBM DB2 Support
Ajit Mungale, my fellow MVP Buddy has got some more Info on DB2 related CLR support.

"IBM DB2 has given very strong support in DB2 8.x for CLR and overall .NET.

In DB2 8.x you can write stored procs, views and triggers using CLR (E.g. C#). Additionally IBM also introduced DB2 .NET provider for UDB/iSeries, data objects, DB2 projects and lot more.

Using DB2 8.x you can invoke Web service from DB2 SQL statement or you can publish SQL statement or stored proc as a Web service!!!

My two books on .NET DB2 (UDB and iSeries) are on the way to publish and I am working on one article which explains how to invoke Web service from DB2 SQL statement. (Hope I will get time to publish it before Xmas)
