Why I Hate DB2: Part 1
No one reading this blog will know or care, but for christ's sake IBM, you could at least put a line of code in your installation screen to tell your users that if you have an apostrophe in your username that you are in for some mysterious error messages and a ton of frustration because DB2 usernames don't support them. It wouldn't be a hard thing to do. In fact it would have taken less time than it's taking me to write this paragraph. I'm not even asking you to even fix the problem, I know that would be entirely too much trouble for the world's largest computer company, but one little warning screen would have been nice.
As it is I think you're just discriminating against the Irish. I guess the days of our being the 'white negroes' aren't fully over yet. Fucking collaborators.
