Yes, there is a lot of unsupported things. I must rewrite some templates
to customize it and to get Czech language working. You can download
whole my DocBook sources and customization templates for db2latex at
http://www.kosek.cz/diplomka/dp.zip. There is some info about these
changes at http://www.kosek.cz/diplomka/ but it is in Czech language,
unfortunately.

homepage (http://db2latex.sourceforge.net).
