First Version of db2 to include bigInt data type

Wh开发者_JS百科at is the first version of db2 to include the BigInt data type?

I thought it was version 8, but I'm looking for an official IBM source. I wasn't having much luck with google.

BIGINT was introduced with DB2 Universal Database Version 5.2, in September, 1998.

Here is a link to IBM's official announcement letter.

I assume you're asking about non-mainframe DB2. It goes back to at least version 6.

I think version 5 was the first non-mainframe one so I'm not sure how far back you need to go?
