REVIEW: iLuminate sets out to address data warehousing limitations with its iLuminate 4.0 correlation database. Rather than store data in tables, iLuminate 4.0 organizes information in value pools based on data type, with an auto-generated indexing system that keeps track of the values' context. This fully indexed, value-based storage approach can yield significant performance benefits, but eWEEK Labs was most impressed by iLuminate's knack for making data available for analysis with very few planning or design requirements.
What will become of the open-source MySQL database after database giant Oracle acquires Sun Microsystems? After considering the database market, Oracle's and Sun's strengths, and history, eWEEK Labs' Jeff Cogswell thinks that MySQL and its customers can expect the database to live on, although perhaps not exactly as we know it now.
TECH ANALYSIS: IBM has DB2, not to mention Informix, while Sun Microsystems has MySQL. Will one trump the others? eWEEK Labs examines the overlap and synergies between IBM's and Sun's database platforms, and what customers should expect should an acquisition go forward.
Enterprise IT managers need to be thinking about the product impact of a possible IBM acquisition of Sun. eWEEK Labs takes a look at the areas of synergy--such as database and operating systems--as well as areas of overlap--such as development. In the end, IBM's services model may be the crux of all product decisions.
Dabble DB, a Web-based database application from Smallthought Systems, gives enterprise IT administrators a structured database environment while enabling them to do the ad hoc data crunching they normally do in a spreadsheet. Dabble DB makes it easy for users to import data and create views of the tables holding that data, although it needs better health status update capabilities.
