IBM公司多伦多实验室DB2技术专家Raul F Chong先生来我院讲学

近日，IBM公司多伦多实验室从事DB2技术研究的Raul F Chong先生来我院访问并为广大师生带来了一场DB2的技术讲座，本次讲座由院长助理边耐政副教授主持。 学院IBM技术俱乐部全体成员和2005级的部分学生参加了报告。

Raul Chong演讲的题目是“Boost your Web 2.0 application performance with native XML storage in relational databases”。Raul重点讲解了IBM推出的新产品DB2 Express-C。DB2是IBM公司研制的一种关系型数据库系统。DB2主要应用于大型应用系统，具有较好的可伸缩性，可支持从大型机到单用户环境，应用于OS/2、Windows等平台下。由于DB2是重量级的大型数据库，在校学生很难将其用于课程学习中实际的项目。IBM为改善此种情况，推出了轻量级的免费的DB2 Express-C。该产品具有DB2的商业版的绝大部分功能，使用较为简便，可免费使用，且去除了数据容量的限制。因此非常适合在学校相关课程和项目中推广。

Raul Chong重点讲述了DB2 Express-C支持XML的情况，强调DB2 Express-C是本地化的XML数据库（Native XML 数据库），且对于Web2.0的到来作好了充分的准备。他举例讲述了XML数据在数据库中的存储、查询的机制、效率以及与DB2内部实现的关系。

由于Raul F Chong不会讲汉语，同学们对其讲解的内容了解也不是很多，为使两者的交流更为顺畅，边耐政老师适时地口译了部分内容，两个人默契的合作为广大同学们带来了一场精彩的报告。

演讲会后，同学们也踊跃提问，和Raul F Chong 进行了很好的互动。通过两个小时的全英文介绍，同学们更加明确了未来软件的发展趋势，明确了以后努力的方向。

我们掌握软件，我们控制未来！

SUN的校园大使王实，好象还是湖大毕业的?

赶紧baidu一下～～

db2还是很不错的，在银行等金融行业中使用较多
