So several people in the blogosphere were not completely satisfied with IBM's new tool that was called JLINQ especially because it wasn't really LINQ at all. I was planning on going back and taking another look at it, but before I had the chance, I was awakened to another new tool coming out with DB2 v9.5 called PureQuery. After taking a quick look I noticed several similarities to JLINQ and decided to investigate further......

One Quick Google search on "JLINQ" found that it returned the ever-so-popular article that was recently discussed on the naming of the tool. However, now when you follow this link it takes you to a page on IBM's new tool called "PureQuery" - with no references to JLINQ at all. Looks like it has been rebranded to me, and I for one am very glad for the change.
