IBM enhanced public beta of Viper Database XML Performance

IBM announced a Beta test on XML 2006 Conference and released the next generation of DB2 database named "Viper. It is designed to help users manage and access data with unprecedented speed and flexibility in the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA. In the speech of XML 2006 Conference, bob Picciano, vice president of IBM database server, introduced DB2 Viper-the industry's first database with both XML data management and relational data capabilities. Bob Picciano also announced that Viper has entered the stage of public testing and evaluation involving customers, developers and partners.

DB2 Viper, which is scheduled to be released this year, is expected to lead a new era of data management by creating unprecedented opportunities for users to extract value from their business information.

Picciano said: "DB2 Viper will fundamentally change the playing rules of the database. By putting Viper at the core of the information architecture, users can quickly switch from traditional data management to unprecedented information management technologies, which can promote information as a service ."

Viper may be the only database product that can seamlessly process traditional relational data and XML data at the same time. It does not need to convert XML data or place it in a large object in the database. This breakthrough will allow users to increase their data acquisition speed, diversity, flexibility, and other capabilities, while greatly reducing management costs related to existing data management technologies. It also significantly reduces the complexity and time it takes for developers to build applications that can access relational data and XML warehouses at the same time.

At the same time, Viper's original XML function can also rely on its ability to access massive data in multiple formats, greatly benefiting the implementation of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA. By freeing data from static data in relational data products, Viper can use accessible information in an SOA environment as a service.

Thore Thomassen, senior corporate designer at Storebrand, an important supplier in the insurance and financial industries, said: "The time we use Viper's original XML storage for development is a big step forward than using the existing XML" shred "technology. We can now make changes within a few minutes, rather than a few days. In addition, the corresponding time for customers has been greatly shortened ."

In addition, with its original XML function, DB2 Viper will become the first database that supports three common database partitioning methods at the same time. This is a major innovation in promoting data management and information availability. Range partitioning, multi-dimensional grouping, and hashing can be processed simultaneously ). These functions allow enterprises to set and schedule information in the optimal way according to their own needs.

Viper's original XML technology can also provide support for XQuery. XQuery is an emerging and powerful standardized language in the industry. It extends Xpath and is specially designed to process XML data. Applications can use XQuery, standard SQL, or both to query and obtain data in any format.

IBM also confirmed the plan to use Zend Core for IBM to expand early Viper support for PHP development. Viper beta and Zend Core for IBM have significantly improved development support. According to a Netcraft survey, PHP is one of the world's most popular network languages and has applications in more than 23 million domains.
