rebrand Db2 back to DB2

🙂

We the customers need Db2 rebranded back to DB2 as this still, after all these years, feels VERY strange to us and we fail to understand the benefit that the name Db2 brings to the table.

I am at IDUG EMEA 2026 and have asked a lot of my fellow Db2 customer colleagues and we are all in agreement that DB2 makes more sense to us :)

    It could make sense to rebrand Db2 for z/OS to DB2 for z/OS and let Db2 for LUW keep the lower case B. That could minimize the confusion between DB2 for z/OS and Db2 for LUW. They are after all  not the same product and quite different in many ways.
