If you're not getting clear information about pricing, then I would recommend two courses of action:

1. Call IBM 1-800-426-2255 and ask for the Summer 2002 Catalog US Version. They will send you one for free.

2. Ask for another account representative. I agree that it's confusing with all the different versions and licensing options and stuff, but the account reps at IBM are SUPPOSED to be there to explain it to you. If you want some help, I'll be happy to spend a little time explaining the choices and options.

3. Buy, DB2 Fundamentals Certification for Dummies from amazon.com (or your favorite bookstore). The first chapter of the book goes through all the different options for DB2.

4. Download the DB2 Enterprise Edition trial version: for free.

5. Download some of the free DB2 courses from the IBM Website.

That should get you started, Norm. Let me know if you need more.
