An announcement (one of many) about IBM DB2 v9 - a relational dbms with xml
support:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/long/dm-0607ahuja2/?ca=dnw
-726
DB2 is free to use by people in institutes registered on their academic programme though I'm not sure how that applies to independent astro insts. If anyone evaluates this new version of DB2 and how well it supports XQuery it'd be useful if they could post a review here.
Cheers,
Tony.
