Way to go Leaving aside the arm-wrestling practice IBM's legal department is currently getting with Platform Solutions Inc (PSI) and its ability to run IBM mainframe applications on any reasonably spec'd Itanium-based server, the availability of such software tools marks a development that could interest developers.â¦

In the world of industry database management, there are three major players: IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. There is a lot of literature about using both Microsoft and Oracle's products, but information on using DB2 specifically with PHP was difficult to find. I developed this tutorial to help the age PHP-MySQL application developer expand his or database horizons to include IBM's powerful database offering.

Perl is so good at handling plain text files that it's seductively easy to use them when you need something better. Yet sometimes using a full-fledged database is just Too Much Work. If only Dave Baker had written an article on using complex, persistent data structures with MLDBM.

The ActiveBPEL(R) engine is a Business Process Management (BPM) runtime environment for executing process definitions created to the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) 1.1 and WS-BPEL 2.0 specifications. It is written in Java and   Active Endpoints today announced the availability of Milestone 1 of ActiveBPELÃÂ® Community Edition 5.0 Server. ActiveBPEL 5.0 represents the worldÃ¢â¬â¢s first release of an open-source implementation of both BPEL4People and WS-Human Task. These specifications allow human interactions to be included in services-based applications. By incorporating human tasks in composite applications, WS-Human Task and BPEL4People expand project teamsÃ¢â¬â¢ flexibility and efficiency in delivering standards-based solutions.  Features and availability Milestone 1 of ActiveBPEL Community Edition 5.0 Server is available for download at http://www.active-endpoints.com/active-bpel-engine-overview.htm In addition to containing BPEL4People and WS-Human Task, ActiveBPEL Community Edition 5.0 Server provides comprehensive support of the BPEL 1.1 specification and the WS-BPEL 2.0 standard. The server supports the full complement of BPEL activities including event handling, exception handling and scope/compensation management. The ActiveBPEL Community Edition 5.0 Server also includes advanced capabilities such as deployment packaging, process persistence, event notifications and console APIs. Developers and others interested in gaining early experience with the standards-based systems for creating services-based applications are invited to download the Milestone 1 release as an introduction to the full capabilities of a visual orchestration system.

On CodePoets.co.uk, there's a new tutorial posted by David Goodwin showing how to use PHP with the PEAR MDB2 component to access your database backend.   While writing some PHP Training materials for Pale Purple, I thought I'd add an updated guide on PHP and database access. I've already done one on PEAR::DB, but PEAR::MDB2 is it's successor and has a slightly different API.... and as PEAR::DB is now deprecated, it's probably about time I rewrote it anyway.   David looks at what the MDB2 package is, how to install it, connecting to your database and including some error handling as well. He (thankfully) also touches on one of the most handy features of the package - the prepared statements and the security they can offer.

PHP driven Inventory, HelpDesk, Support, Issue Tracking, and Knowledge Base web application. Focuses on simplicity and ease of customization. Sort of a mini-Directory solution for SMBs using PHP and any Pear::DB supported database. OpenIT 1.3 represents a major step from 1.2.  Thanks to Aaron's (acolflesh) new "Lookups" section all entries in the database can be edited via OpenIT.  This means no more using phpMyAdmin to add Departments.   Dan (dancoulter) worked hard to get Active Directory authentication to work via LDAP.  This is an exciting feature for anyone using Active Directory.  The coding style is in a state of flux as we're trying to bring it in line with PEAR standards.  There have been minor database changes.  At this point the easiest way to upgrade your database is to do a diff of the old & new tools/setup.php scripts to see what has changed.  Please use this release as much as possible and report bugs on the SourceForge Project Bug tracker & forums.  Note:  From version 1.3 forward OpenIT will follow versioning practices similar to the Linux Kernel.  This means all odd minor number releases (1.3, 2.5, etc.) will be "Testing" releases, while even minor number releases (1.4, 2.0, etc.) will be "Stable" releases.  OpenIT 1.3 Released http://openit.sf.net  This version is availabe here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=111107&package_id=133178

On the IBM developerWorks site, there's a new post talking about a new Service Component Architecture module that's been released over on the PECL site - SCA_SDO.   We've just made our first release of SCA on the PECL repository. The code has been added into what was the SDO project and which has now been imaginatively renamed to SCA_SDO (you won't believe how much thought went into that...).    Main features include:  inclusion of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) component new PEAR packaging to install SCA and SDO as peer directories (PEAR/SCA and PEAR/SDO) new function in SDO_DAS_Relational to support multiple root data objects new function in SDO_DAS_XML to support CDATA sections (not yet complete)  To find out more about the project, check out its homepage.

On PHPBuilder.com today, there's a new tutorial focusing on the development of PHP applications that can be run on different database environments without many changes to the actual application.   There are several options available to interact with multiple database engines with PHP, such as Pear DB and MDB2. However, there may instances where you will be required to develop your own custom database interface that connects to many different database engines using a single unified syntax. This article will address the development of a class that will do exactly that. In addition, we will include the ability to replicate data among several databases in real time.   They create their own abstraction layer that has the ability to make the connection, replicate data between connections, handle some errors and work with database configuration data. The tutorial shows you how to use the script for three different database types - MySQL, Oracle, and MS SQL.

Solid's embedded database can store and retrieve data from main memory, giving faster performance than traditional disk-based systems.

This  is very interesting:  "As large MediaWiki deployments may gain performance using Memcached, at some level cost of RAM to store all objects becomes too high. In order to balance resource usage and take more use of Apache server disks, Tugela, the distributed cached on-disk hash database, has arrived."  So Tugela  is like memcached but backed by a disk-based btree.  Since most memcached installs are usually backed by MySQL we would just be duplicating some of the work that MySQL already does. Of course this is probably being a bit unfair.  There wouldn't be any locking in this situation.  I'd like to see benchmarks though.  I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be able to beat an InnoDB install.   ...
