Since the news that Google+ chief Vic Gundotra has abruptly left the company , the common wisdom holds that Google’s oft-derided Facebook clone will not be long for this world. But whether or not Google+ continues as a standalone product isn’t the question.

I well remember a phone conversation, from about six or seven years ago, during which a friend of mine and I discussed an application project at his site which involved use of DB2 for z/OS stored procedures.

I was working on some training material and wanted to show how complex ad hoc connections between systems can be. I needed to calculate the number of potential connections between a number of systems, so I had to relearn a formula. Between 2 systems there is only 1 possible connection. One way to calculate this for more than 2 objects is to add up all the whole numbers between 1 and (n-1) where n is the number of objects.

In each message, a DBA described a change that he had made in a production DB2 environment (in one case a size increase for several buffer pools, and in the other a change from an external stored procedure to a native SQL procedure).
