Chenan: Users prefer to meet the actual needs of the database products-products and technology

It is becoming increasingly prominent in the process of enterprise Informatization to handle the data with unprecedented speed and obtain the effective information faster from the complicated information. At present, the domestic database business development situation? How do users choose a database system that really fits the enterprise? How to cultivate database talents? Recently, with these questions, "China computer newspaper" reporter interviewed the IBM DB2 Migration Star Contest judges, the Chinese Academy of Science and Technology Policy and Management Science Institute researcher Chenan.

In the Chenan view, from the perspective of sustainable business development, database migration is the general trend. In the enterprise business Continuous management, the data maintenance and management is a very important link. Today, with http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13584.html "> massive data accumulation, enterprise data management is facing more and more challenges, in this case, enterprises need good database technology, While ensuring the security of data and information.

Database technology from the United States began to develop, China's database technology is still following the footsteps of other countries, from relational databases, multimedia databases, object-oriented databases to distributed databases, are the case. In China, although the relevant professionals do a lot of database low-level work, but from the point of view of product and marketization, China's database business is still relatively weak base.

At present, the domestic use of the database can be described as: in large applications, the use of Oracle database more users, in small applications, Microsoft SQL Server more users. In all database products, IBM's DB2 is technically at the forefront of the position (the relational database was originally made by IBM), but its performance in the market does not match its technical status, it can be better in the market performance.

From the perspective of database development, DB2 in each of the core technological revolution has played a leading role, but to win the same leadership in the market, it is necessary to meet the actual needs of users and market promotion of more effort.

As an outstanding Database Engineer selection activities of senior judges, Chenan believes that such competitions in the industry has a large impact, especially in the young technology enthusiasts can produce greater repercussions. DB2 competition can prepare the core technical force of the database, although it is not always possible to see the immediate effect, but it can be a subtle impact on the database application, which is also in line with the DB2 of their own development, especially for those who have strong innovative ability of young people, this is a better way to penetrate.

Chenan said that in the selection criteria, he is most important to the novelty of the work. And to DB2 itself, Chenan hope that the product version can be more diverse, more simple and flexible to adapt to more users.
