I can't find any reference on IBM's web site to indicate that DB2 supports
these functions. What version of DB2 are they in? UDB 8.1 seems to be the
latest and I can't see anything mentioned there.
PostgreSQL could best be described as an object-relational database. It
supports table inheritence. See:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=tutorial-inheritance.html

These are Java client/middleware functions. The easiest way to find out if
your app server and the JDBC driver are happy together is to try it. I
don't use either SQLJ (I thought that died the death years ago) or EJBs. I
use a simple DAO architecture running under Tomcat and find it works
extremely well.
