If the reports can be believed, former IBM DB2 leader Don Haderle may be advising the next challenger to Oracle, Microsoft, and even IBM.
All the little ants are marching
Red and black antennae waving
They all do it the same
-- is there anyone who doesn't know this is from a Dave Matthews song?
Rewind to 1978. Dave Matthews is eleven years old, and probably keeping other kids from stepping on ants. Don Haderle was moving from working on IBM S/370 data management to another project, called EAGLE.
By 1983, EAGLE became DB2, and shipped in beta to customers. Six years later, DB2 sales began to fly like their original namesake. (And bring a Steve Miller song to mind as well.)
Fast forward to the year 2006. The Dave Matthews Band goes on tour starting in late May. Haderle is going back to work, after a fashion. CNet noted in a ANTs Software (Del.icio.us") | Yahoo! My Web |
