Db2

the new 12.1 version dropped several features that were available in equivalent edition (dev-c)  in 11.5 release.  

This is really !@#$@#$%#$%.   several customers implemented such features, and now they can't continue using it..    Well done IBM,  moving backwards.. 

But what worries me most,  is the Point-In-Time Recovery not being available anymore..

"Db2 Community Edition is subject to capacity restrictions of up to 4 cores and 8 GB of memory per physical or virtual server and functional restrictions including High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR), Security (Native encryption and audit logging), Federation, Backup (Point-in-time recovery),..."

I can't believe this !  So, you are forcing everyone that is currently using community edition just fine, taking regular online backups, and forcing them to take offline backups from now on !?

Hi Samuel,

We have rolled back those feature restrictions for Db2 Community Edition. Updated announcement is here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/announcements/delivers-db2-121-next-generation-enterprise-database-powered-by-ai

We are working on updating the documentation page by end of day today. 

Capacity restrictions of up to 4 cores and 8 GB of memory per physical or virtual server and non-production limitation will still hold true.
