Enabling XML and SOA Applications with DB2 Viper

XML data is a key ingredient for solutions based on Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and building XML aware and XML centric applications marks the next stage in the evolution of database programming. With this on demand webcast, you will learn about XML application development for DB2 Viper – the upcoming release of DB2 database with native XML capabilities. We will also explain how to work with XML data in DB2 Viper through XQuery and SQL/XML using various development environments and programming languages. Register today.

Webcast: How to Boost Performance of your XML Data in DB2

Today, most XML content is stored either in file systems or in relational or pure XML databases. When stored in relational databases, the XML data is either shredded or stored as a single object (BLOB/CLOB). While these methods have their advantages, retrieving and updating this data can be expensive and time-consuming. At the same time, most pure XML databases cannot scale to meet the needs of many organizations and also limit the ability to leverage the investments many organizations have already made in relational technology. Find out how DB2 plans to solve these performance problems with new XML technology designed to provide high performance. This webcast will discuss new native XML storage, indexing techniques, and access methods designed to deliver high performance for your XML data.

Now available: Using Eclipse to build manageability into your Java Applications
Developers and architects are reluctant to use any interface which is time-consuming to understand, use, and test. This on demand webcast will show how IBM’s Build-to-Manage (BTM) project will provide an Eclipse plug-in to enable developers to easily understand and incorporate ARM, JMX, and CBE interfaces into their applications, so that operational management products can monitor the applications via these interfaces in production settings. A demo will illustrate how easy it is for developers to use the BTM toolkits to add this instrumentation to their code and then show how easy it is to monitor this code in a production setting.
