Gustave... <<If IBM Corp's interested in online music then why not ODIS? >> Are you suggesting that ODIS get into the music distribution or having IBM utilize ODIS's products. I assume the latter and that would take ODIS to sell to IBM. considering that IBM has been working on this for quite some time as indicated in your post, then it seems like it is late in the game for ODIS to get involved. Am I missing something? Bob T.

If I were an ODIS sales representative, I would not even bother trying to sell ObjectStore for online music sales. Sure, it could do the job well, but this is one area where an ORDBMS would perform OK. There is no internal complexity in a music track that a database needs to know about. Each song can be stored as a single BLOB in a single row of a relational table. This is not one of the compelling appliaction domains in which RDBMS have failed.
