Hi All,

New version 2.0.0 of the IBM\_DB gem is been released. This release of  
the gem adds support for ActiveRecord to use parameterized SQL Queries  
with DB2. With this support you can now reap more performance benefits  
for your Rails applications. Enabling this feature is as simple as  
just adding the parameter “parameter” in your database.yml and setting  
it to true. Refer to Parameterized Queries README in the gem for more  
details.

So what more to wait, grab your copy of the latest free DB2 and the  
new gem to get started and to drop in to us with your comments and  
suggestions.
