Sure, by leveraging most of the work that Intel already put into the DB2 port. Once Intel
helped IBM to rewrite the code to be 64-bit friendly, of course a port to another 64-bit
architecture was easy. Let's see how many applications AMD is able to port without Intel's help.


I agree with the idea that DB2 was probably 64 bit clean prior to the AMD64 port. But I wouldn't
necessarily credit Intel with that. IBM has its own 64 bit RISC family and AFAIK DB2 has been
running on that under AIX for a while.
