Focus on Rapid Application Development for Web 2.0
While Web 2.0 is clearly XML-centric including technologies such as AJAX, ATOM and Web Services, XML data management is the fabric of Web 2.0 Applications. DB2 9’s pureXML technology positions Web 2.0 development with an unprecedented feature set: language and storage for today and next generation application.

A Unique opportunity for PHP Developers
Open source communities are constantly justifying their choice in database. This is no longer the case; IBM brings the most reliable, trusted, scalable and secure choice in database to these communities. Coupling the reliability and ease-of-use of DB2 9 makes it an obvious data server choice.

The DB2 and PHP Community
IBM’s contributions to the open source community with XML Content Store as well as collaboration with PDO to push the Open Source development community further into the enterprise.
