Agistix, Inc. is the leading provider of on-demand, carrier-neutral global logistics management solutions that enable companies to gain visibility and control of their global shipment process.

Sun and MySQL: How It Stacks Up for Developers 2008-02-01 Sun Microsystems

Most business analysts have applauded the announced acquisition by Sun Microsystems of open-source database provider MySQL AB. Although the business case for bringing MySQL under the Sun umbrella is clear, the acquisition leaves many developers wondering just what is in store for them. Developers want products that are easy to use during development, that are easy to scale to enterprise levels, and that will last long enough to repay the time investment required to master the technologies. Some MySQL community members wonder if they will continue to enjoy superior open-source products from the combined companies, and if the community will remain strong in the future.

Upgrading From Oracle Database 9i to 10g: What to Expect From the Optimizer 2008-02-01 Oracle

Since its introduction in Oracle 7.0, people have been fascinated and intimidated by the Cost-Based Optimizer (CBO) and the statistics that feed it.

One of the most daunting activities a DBA can therefore undertake is upgrading the database to a new version. Having to comprehend all of the new features and to deal with potential plan changes can be overwhelming. This paper aims to dispel the mystery by explaining in detail what to expect from the CBO when one upgrade from Oracle database 9i to 10g.

Performance of Environments Using DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition 2008-02-01 IBM

DB2 Connect Enterprise Edition V9.1 for Linux on zSeries (DB2 Connect) connects LAN-based systems and their applications to the company's mainframe host DB2 databases. Additionally, DB2 Connect can be used in a three tier environment and can act as a gateway concentrating large numbers of SQL connections from various clients to a fewer, well-defined number of connections to the DB2 database on z/OS. The focus of this paper is on the connection concentrator functions of DB2 Connect. This feature enables a predictable, controlled load on the database on z/OS from a DB2 Connect server and may reduce mainframe resource usage as fewer DB2 threads may be defined.
