Scope/Description
|
We do our best to assume a calm, unruffled outward appearance, but putting together a magazine takes a large, talented, and opinionated team. And the editorial offices of IBM Data Management magazine are occasionally the scene for pointed discussions about both topic and approach. In fact, the theme of this issue-databases that push the limits of size and speed-was the subject of much debate. Several folks argued that the topic was too esoteric and that the issue would amount to a sideshow of the exotic and the hyperspecialized: "Why spend time on examples that only a few of our readers will ever encounter?"
