Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================
Small databases are still databases. Microsoft has now created SQL Server
Express 2005 and word is that they are planning to give this database away when
it releases.
IBM, a proponent of open source and Java, has now stepped up with a database
that they are releasing to the open source community. This is the Cloudscape
database, which will be called Derby by the open source community. In IBM’s case
the database is being released along with its Java source code. IBM is also
providing for a download of the binary’s from their site.
IBM describes this database:
“Cloudscape is a Java-based relation database technology with
just a 2 megabyte footprint that simplifies application development and
makes it even easier to deploy them – no DBA required!“
It can be fully embedded or sever-based. It has a small foot-print, is java
based, and is upwardly compatible with SQL-92. It should be generally available
by the fourth quarter of this year.
Is this a small gesture by IBM, or is this a big move to continue their
support for open source?
That is something you’ll have to decide. Something to consider is that the
value IBM has put on this database is $85 million. This is based on the price
that Informix paid in 1999 for the company that owned the database.
If you use, or have used, this database with .NET, write an article for
Codeguru to let the rest of us know how it worked for you.
… Book Reviews …
