Throughout the development of the database, the database giant three companies have launched their latest products, increasing competition in the database market. From the latest IDC report shows that in the relational database management system (RDBMS) software market, Oracle continues to lead rival IBM and Microsoft, but Microsoft has made in 2006, faster sales growth…… According to the database development of the technology trend is not difficult to see that the entire database development emerged three main features:
Support XML data format
IBM Corporation in its new version of the DB29, the XML directly to the support of its new products as the biggest selling points is the industry's first so-called support for relational data and XML data mixed database, no need to re-definition of the XML data format, Or be placed in the database under the premise of large object, IBMDB29 allows users to seamlessly between ordinary data management and pure XML data.
The traditional relations of data and data-level hybrid applications have become a new generation of database products that are indispensable characteristics. In addition to IBM, Oracle and Microsoft also promote their products can also achieve high performance XML storage and enquiries, so that existing applications and XML better coexistence. Business intelligence into focus
To cope with the growing commercial competition, enterprises have continuously increased internal IT and information systems to enable enterprises to the commercial data into geometric order of magnitude constantly increasing, how can from these massive data to get more information for the analysis of the data into the decision-making commercial value , The current database vendors have become the focus of attention. The database vendors in the new products, have expressed their products in business intelligence have greatly improved. Such as: the latest version of Microsoft SQLServer2005 on a complete integrated suite of business intelligence, including data warehousing, data analysis, ETL tools, statements and data mining, and other targeted done some optimization. How to better support business intelligence will be the future development of database products one of the main trends. SOA support structure
SOA has become a major IT industry development trends, the first IBM and BEA is the main promoter of the idea, but more and more companies are joining to start that support SOA, including Oracle, and Microsoft is not very much agree with the beginning SOA, but over time the development of the domestic mainstream database vendors are beginning to claim their products are fully supported the structure of the SOA, including Microsoft's SQLServer2005, from Microsoft's attitude changes, we can see that the future of IT industry development and Integration, SOA is growing up as a mainstream trend.
While database technology has achieved a high standard in research and development, its future role in a globally distributed information network is less central. Considering the central role of databases in the past in providing a platform for application development, the members strongly felt that actions must be taken. Of course, it is true that databases still do a great job ...
