When it is weekend and family time you need really good reasons to get to your computer and download the new DB2 9.7. Thus, you mention things like:

• The extended compression features (index compression, XML compression, compression of temp tables) will allow me to reduce the clutter on my desk.
• With the improved autonomic feature I will have more family time (but first I need to download and install it).
• pureXML support for database partitioning, range partitioning, and multi-dimensional clustering let me allow to store even more recipes for you (in XML format of course) and analyze them.
• …

At this time I have to leave (family time before a business trip), so please finish for me. What reasons would you mention? Let me know…

BTW: Here is the link to the DB2 9.7 download site.
