LongJump is probably doing something interesting
According to VentureBeat, LongJump is offering a SaaS version of a “relational database architecture.” It’s also a “simple XML server.” And there are apps and workflow management. According to LongJump itself, there is “full search” and “wide palette of field types” and “multi-app mashup.” And since it’s a SaaS offering, the LongJump website also spends a whole page telling us how wonderful RackSpace is.
If VentureBeat got the “relational” part of the story wrong — perhaps out of confusion with Longjump’s parent company’s name “Relationals” — then the rest of it kind of hangs together: XML, composite apps, and so on. Otherwise — well, relational access, XML, and search can certainly be combined in a single package, as per MarkLogic, Attivio, or for that matter Oracle, DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server. But all that and apps and app dev too seem a lot to bite off for a single self-funded startup.
