Database Details

 

Aberdeen Group, the Boston-based IT market-analysis firm, has just released an updated version of its Database Buying Guide. The guide is intended to help business customers choose the right databases while driving down administrator costs. Topics covered include types of databases, matching the right product to the right function, key technologies, market trends that might affect buying decisions, and profiles of several major vendors.

The 177-page guide is available for download as a PDF file from Aberdeen's Web site (free, but registration is required). If you're in a hurry, just scan Chapter 1 for an executive summary and Chapter 2 for Aberdeen's key findings.
