The company plans to offer the DB2 Viper “test drive” as a free download to customers. Also, at an event in Jaipur, India, Ambuj Goyal, IBM’s general manager of its information management business, is expected to provide more details on the database’s features.
Bob Picciano, vice president of data servers at IBM, said the latest release is the equivalent of a “release candidate,” the industry term for a product that’s close to being fully developed and tested. The generally available product is scheduled for completion in the early summer, he said.
The most significant feature to be added in the DB2 Viper version is the ability to store and index XML documents in a “native” format, according to IBM.
The company has added a separate storage mechanism for XML to DB2. The mechanism keeps the document structure intact rather than reformatting it for a relational system. DB2 Viper’s “hierarchical” storage format and XML-specific indexing will greatly improve performance for applications that use XML data, Picciano said.
