The Next Generation: Q Replication

 

The Next Generation: Q Replication

By Anthony J. Ciccone and Beth Hamel

A new messaging-based architecture keeps latency low for even the most demanding applications.

Ten years ago, IBM first shipped DataPropagator Relational (DPROPR). Now, IBM is preparing new replication technology: Q Replication. DPROPR (now called DB2 Data Propagator), has been expanded over the years, and the resulting set of replication products has experienced substantial commercial success. So why has IBM put so much research and development effort into the creating a new replication architecture?

Google Opens Up Its Base
By Sean Michael Kerner

The key to any successful Web 2.0 deployment is the availability of an open API (define). It's a key that Google is now giving out for its base -- Google Base that is.

The Google Base Data API is now freely available from Google, allowing third party developers to have applications that can interact with Google Base.

Build a Google Earth Interface using Relational Database

 Hopefully most of the Oracle-related items below can be easily adapted/converted to IBM's DB2.

Build a Google Earth Interface on Oracle Database XE

by Rich Gibson

Get an overview of spatial data, explore ways to add spatial attributes to existing data, and learn how to use Google Earth to "fly" over aerial imagery including that data.

Published August 2006

How we look at our data forms our view of the world. Until recently most of us have ignored location because we lacked the tools (or the ability to use those tools) needed to acquire, manage, and present the spatial component of our data. This means we have missed the geospatial component of human experience. Everything that we do, think, or experience, we do, think, or experience somewhere.

Until recently it has been complicated to connect a spatially enabled database with a visualization engine: to put our customers (and whole supply chain) onto a map. That is now a solved problem. In this article you will get an introduction to spatial data, explore ways to add spatial attributes to existing data, and learn how to use the free Google Earth program to let us ‘fly’ over aerial imagery that includes your data.
