Sneak Peek at IBM 'Viper' DB2 Release 181
Rob let us know that Computer Business Review magazine is reporting that IBM is about to add more fuel to the database fire. The company has offered up a sneak peek at their upcoming "Viper" release of their DB2 database. From the article: "DB2 Viper will be distinct from current DB2 database implementations in that it will be able to store XML formatted data inside the database natively--XML support will not be bolted onto the side. Viper will also support relational data stores, of course, and access to those database tables using the SQL programming language."

It's a query language. Ffs, the name even says so.
Although, on second thought, the name also says it's structured.

Sql support has been on the most wanted list for most companies for quite some time now.
Indeed, SQL support is often the first thing I look for when shopping for a database.
SQL support!? Are you sure? (Score:4, Funny)
Thank you Captain Obvious! Until I read the headline on slashdot, I was concerned the new DB2 might not support SQL queries. Now I can sleep tonight.
On a radical tangent, I was thinking of buying a new car. Has anyone heard if the new cars from GM have wheels that turn? I'm not sure because it doesn't say on the website anywhere. I really hope the new cars have wheels that turn. If the wheels didn't turn... that'd be like a database without SQL... or something.
