DB2 or SQl Express?

Oracle Shows Buying Competitors Has Paid Off; 4Q Profit Up 23 Percent
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/070627/earns_oracle.html?.v=3
"Redwood Shores-based Oracle ended 2006 with a 47 percent share of the
database market, according to Gartner Inc. That was more than the
combined total of the two next closest competitors, IBM Corp. and
Microsoft Corp., which held shares of 21 percent and 17 percent,
respectively, Gartner said."
My question:
Okay IBM has 21 percent. Is this DB2 or something else? What platform?

IBM DB2 runs on various flavours of Unix, Linux, Windows and also has
versions for their i Series and z Series boxes.

Thanks. I just checked the link. Some of those markets are fixed and
very hard to penetrate, for example mainframe etc. Even Oracle with
its efficient marketing strategy will not be able to get into those
markets. So that 21 percent from IBM will remain stable for some time
to come.
