Memory-centric research — hear the latest!
What I’ve written so far in this blog (and in Computerworld) about memory-centric data management technology is just the tip of the iceberg. A detailed white paper is forthcoming, sponsored by most of the industry leaders: Applix, Progress, SAP, Intel (in association with SAP), and Solid. (But for some odd reason Oracle declined to participate …)
A lot of the material will be rolled out publically for the first time in a webinar on Wednesday, January 25, at 11 EST. Applix is the host. To participate, please follow this link.
I’m also holding forth online, in webinars and even video, on other subjects these days. More details may be found over in the Monash Report.

Another OLTP success for memory-centric OO
Computerworld published a Progress ObjectStore OLTP success story.
Hotel reservations system, this time. Not as impressive as the Amazon store — what is? — but still nice.

A possibly useful resource
It’s not that easy to find detailed, vendor-neutral explanations of XML storage in RDBMS. One reason may be that there isn’t much vendor-neutral reality to talk about yet; each implementation is different.
Anyhow, while it’s not overwhelming, I found one book chapter online that’s fairly useful for reviewing one or the other somewhat murky area of the technology. Here’s a link to the section on shredding.
The book in question is a collection of chapters by various XQuery experts, a couple of whom have made strong, direct contributions to my research for this blog. I’m not sure I see the point in buying ANY book about a technology area so ill-defined and fast-changing, especially one over a year old. But if I did want a book, it would be very high on my list of ones to consider.
