Oh no, Oracle is falling behind the curve . .

July 1, 2002; Armonk, NY
International Business Machines (NYSE IBM) announced today new Virtual Byte functionality for their DB2 database managment system.

Virtual Byte places a single byte (one character) of data per tablespace. According to the system's designer, Dr. Pullia Leg, this architecture allows for massive parrallelization of all disk I/O. In addition, the staff of DBA's can simply memorize the values of the bytes in the tablespaces for which they are responsible, thus allowing simple keyboard entry for any databse recovery. (IBM recommends a "best practice" of limiting the number of tablespaces for which a DBA is responsible.)

IBM states that Virtual Byte is the upgrade path to the next generation of this technology, code named 'Virtual Bit.' Few details are available at this time on the final feature set of Virtual Bit.

Customers upgrading their DB2 systems to Virtual Byte will receive discount pricing on IBM's recently announced "Whale" and "Leviathan" massaive magnetic-disk storage systems, which were announced last week as the next-generation replacement for Shark.
