more on Database as a service...
Maybe Mr. Lhotka wasn't all that far off the mark when he wrote this over here last month, and perhaps there was less “tongue in cheek” then most assumed.
I came across this article on InfoWorld today titled “Desperately seeking SOA”. The following paragraph from the InfoWorld article seemed to just conjure up spirits of the fallacy article from last month:
“The database community is also heading toward SOA. Plans are afoot to enable IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Oracle 10g, Sybase (Profile, Products, Articles) ASE, and other platforms to participate actively in Web services-based SOA activities as first-class citizens -- even without the use of application servers. This will have profound implications for the design and management of widely distributed n-tiered applications because, in effect, hierarchical tiers will become horizontal peers.”
