I'm delighted this month to say we'll have a
special presentation on XDB, a commercial,
DB2-compliant, industrial-strength RDBMS from
the fine folks at Merant(http://www.merant.com).
What relevance does
this have with the Perl Programming language
you ask? Well, to start, Merant has written perl DBI
drivers to allow all of us Perl Database wizards
to quickly and easily port our scripts from our
current favorite database to use XDB instead.
Now, why would anyone want to do such a thing?
Good question. I think the people at Merant are
currently working on a great answer (Hint: It
has something to do with open-source!)

I saw their presentation last month at the Baltimore
Linux UG's meeting, and I assure you, if your work involves
database(s) you won't be disappointed. Even if you
you're asking yourself "What's DBI?", come and
find out for yourself.
I'll have books to handout, and as always our fine sponsor
(Community of Science) will provide cans of soda!
If you've never attended a meeting, we'd like to meet you!
Directions can be found at http://www.cos.com/contact/directions.shtml
Look forward to seeing you there...
