Provide a quick, creative biography in 140 characters or less.
More bioWith 9 years experience in the DB2 for LUW SQL Compiler development organization (from a student at Almaden Research Center, to team lead and technical manager at the IBM Lab in Toronto) I learned a couple or so things about SQL, the SQL standard and the SQL dialects of DB2's competitors.
You can blame me for these DB2 features:
* typed views
* generated columns
* SQL functions and "inline" SQL PL
* SELECT FROM INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
* MERGE
* Misc smaller SQL crimes
Nowadays I help customers and ISVs port from competitors to DB2 for LUW and I do planning of SQL enhancements for future releases of DB2.
Check out my publications at developerworks. Simply go to www.ibm.com and search for "rielau"
My normal hang out place is comp.databases.ibm-db2
