  Stakes rise in database battle
Time: 07:52 EST/12:52 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein

IBM, Oracle and Microsoft are readying supercharged versions of their databases to take advantage of new high-end hardware--but analysts say sheer processing muscle may not be enough to spur demand. Oracle says it will be the first out of the gate when it ships later this month a 64-bit version of its flagship Oracle 9i database optimized for Intel's Itanium 2 on HP-UX, Hewlett-Packard's version of the Unix operating system. Versions for Linux and Windows on Itanium 2 are slated for early next year. In April next year, Microsoft will match Oracle with a 64-bit version of its SQL Server 2000 for Itanium 2 when the company ships its first 64-bit operating system, Windows .Net Server 2003.
