IBM ‘Stinger’ Database Coming in Mid-September

It’s database day… “IBM’s next version of the DB2 Universal Database, code-named “Stinger,” will be generally available on Sept. 17, the company said Thursday.

IBM has been using Stinger to poke Microsoft in the eye over delays with the “Yukon” version of SQL Server, now SQL Server 2005. During the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference in October, IBM announced a limited technology preview for Stinger that highlighted integration with Windows and the .NET Framework. IBM then announced its full open beta for Stinger in May.”
