Promise of AI features, but Big Blue won't reveal much more about next steps of its highly regarded relational databaseLast week, I committed a crime. No, I did not defraud the IRS/HMRC or steal some Snyder's Pretzels/Cheesy Wotsits. It was much worse. A keen reader pointed out that I had miscounted the number of versions of Db2, IBM's relational database.
For more than four years, I have been asking, enticing, cajoling, coaxing, prompting, tempting, persuading, encouraging, inciting, and seducing IBM to talk toabout Db2. I've tried the front door, the back door, the side door, the trap door, the doors of perception, the garden gate, and the sunroof. It's all been useless.
So why does IBM not talk about Db2? To be fair, it does squeeze out some news if you know where to look., which would"allow Db2 to continuously learn from customer's queries and achieve up to three times query performance improvement over prior version.", joining a family of databases on RDS that also includes PostgreSQL and MySQL. The announcement, however, came from AWS, not IBM.
