In particular, DB2 9 can handle relational and native XML data, allowing DBAs to query across relational and non-relational data repositories at high performance rates using SQL, XQuery or XPath at the user interface.

Great article. Good to see how they are bringing the product forward. Looks like the DB2 marketing department has lined up people to talk about the product in the trade magazines and the press. Very good strategy for the product line. Didn't notice that the author had anything to do with the DB2 user community, but I guess it doesn't really matter, they got some press going. > > Nothing about informix > It _was_ a DB2 article, hard to understand why they would talk about Informix. > Francois
