New NASA Website - nasascience.nasa.gov/ !
Ok, I know this is a data access blog, but I'm a geek. A real big uber geek and I love outer space. Therefore I was really excited to come across NASA's new website today! Here's the link:
JDBC 4.1 BoF at JavaOne 2008!
Just a quick note to say that the JDBC Expert Group (of which I'm unashamedly a part) will be having a Birds of a Feather session on Tuesday night at this year's JavaOne conference! Please drop by and let us know if you have any input on what we're considering and working on for the upcoming JDBC 4.1...
Secure Mashups with SMash
I was doing some investigation into web service security, and ran across another nifty IBM tool: SMash. Smash (meaning secure mashups) is basically a technology designed to solve security problems when writing a mashup (a.k.a. situational application). These applications generally consume...
2008 Data Access Predictions
Bloggers are seemingly required to make a list of predictions for 2008. My colleague, Jonathan Bruce has opted out of this and instead highlighted some of his favorites. Since I'm not as "distinguished" as JB in the blogosphere, I'm going to take a stab at my data access predictions (plus a couple of...
PureQuery at IBM IOD 2007!
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL';
digg_bgcolor = '#ff9900';
digg_skin = 'compact';
Straight from IBM IOD 2007, we get the official word that JLINQ is rebranded as pureQuery, complete with lots of printed material that say both and many speakers mentioning the rebranding. I wonder how...
JLINQ renamed to PureQuery.....looks like it!
digg_url = 'WEBSITE_URL';
digg_bgcolor = '#ff9900';
digg_skin = 'compact';
So several people in the blogosphere were not completely satisfied with IBM's new tool that was called JLINQ especially because it wasn't really LINQ at all. I was planning on going back and taking another...
Upcoming Design Previews...aka Shameless Self Promotion
Ok, we have some upcoming Design Previews and Architect Tutorials where we sit down with our customers and talk about the latest and greatest technologies in the data access arena. Think ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SOA, Oracle, SQLServer, DB2, the entire gambit of data access (it's really fun). If you're...
New MySQL JDBC Driver
Ok, due to popular demand we have a new MySQL JDBC driver offering in our new service pack for 3.7 we released yesterday. I'm not in marketing (and I don't want to sound like I am), but from a technical perspective it is really cool. Go download it and play with...
Data Access in Eclipse: QuantumDB
I've been playing around with JLINQ some more (post on that next week I hope) and in the midst I was referred to a really nice open source Eclipse plugin, QuantumDB.
I installed it and have to say that those guys really know what they're doing. I plugged in our JDBC drivers and was off and...
