Sneak Peek at IBM 'Viper' DB2 Release

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday November 23, 2005 @12:37AM from the taking-the-gloves-off dept.

Rob let us know that Computer Business Review magazine is reporting that IBM is about to add more fuel to the database fire. The company has offered up a sneak peek at their upcoming "Viper" release of their DB2 database. From the article: "DB2 Viper will be distinct from current DB2 database implementations in that it will be able to store XML formatted data inside the database natively--XML support will not be bolted onto the side. Viper will also support relational data stores, of course, and access to those database tables using the SQL programming language."

Talking about native XML databases... My company can't find a decent one, preferably open source. Any suggestions?
