| Chat Transcript: Deep Dive on NetBeans Mobility Pack 4.1 |
| The transcript of the web chat held on June 02, 2005 featuring special guests: |
| Sigal Duek, Petr Suchomel, David Kaspar, Adam Sotona and Matt Volpi is now |
| available. |

| HiT Software Releases Allora 4.1 |
| HiT Software launched a new new release of Allora, its SQL middleware |
| product for moving data between XML and major relational database formats, |
| including DB2/400. Version 4.1 has added a multiple SELECT feature that lets |
| users perform multiple SQL queries that are then joined in real time using |
| XSL. HiT Software says the product previously was able to handle complex |
| database-to-XML transformations with a single SQL query, but there are cases |
| where the single SQL query approach is not ideal. The new multiple SELECT |
| feature will also enable users to keep their complete database structures, |
| including data table relationships and constraints, in XML, which will be |
| useful for database migrations. Other enhancements in Allora 4.1 include |
| support for namespace definitions, complex database expressions, NetBeans |
| IDE 4.1, and stored procedures in Oracle databases. |
