Lotus Domino the killer API for DB2? Why I think the DB2/Domino integration makes total sense
Recently I have been working on a call statistics Notes application for a customer. Parts of the data from the application is really relational in nature and the data really belongs in a relational database. Additionally the application have some real-time reporting requirements which would be really easy to satisfy using some SQL statements as source to some Pivot tables in Microsoft Excel but very hard to satisfy using traditional Notes techniques.
As part of the decision process of having to decide whether to keep the data in Notes or to reach out and incorporate a relational database I have really come to understand why the Domino/DB2 integration makes total sense. In my view also for the smaller Domino customers out there.
