This week, we'll cover updated Power Systems rebates, news about COMMON Europe, COMMON Americas, and the push for more PowerLinux in China.
 Written by Steve Pitcher
As per announcement letters 313-040 and 313-041, IBM has added POWER7+ hardware to the list of qualifying and eligible products in their software solutions' first-in-location or competitive migration rebate programs. You can receive a rebate equal to the total invoice price of the eligible new ISV software licenses acquired, up to a maximum rebate that is dependent upon the eligible new server minimum configurations outlined in the announcement letters. For example, if you purchase an ISV solution that costs $10,000, that's what you're entitled to as a rebate if the eligible hardware rebate value is greater than or equal to $10,000.

Users need a flexible query tool that is powerful and easy to use.
 Written by Heath Kath
Is your query tool up to date and function-rich? Are you able to build queries that end users, managers, and departments can use? Can it collect data from or send data to other systems or platforms? Does it provide run-time prompting? Does it handle data-mapping errors, especially around numeric date fields? Does it take advantage of SQL Query Engine (SQE) to improve run-time performance? Does it provide multiple interfaces—green-screen, Web browser, and GUI? Can it send query results directly to a PC document (.xlsx, PDF, text, HTML, etc.)?

New multiple-event triggers can simplify your SQL trigger development and management.
 Written by Kent Milligan
As the utilization of SQL triggers continues to rise, some developers are being challenged by the fact that they must define a separate SQL trigger for each database event they want to associate with a trigger. Consider a developer who wants to use SQL triggers to ensure that any Insert or Update operation against the customer table always stores the company name value with all uppercase characters. In this situation, the developer would have to create two triggers: one trigger for the Insert event and one for the Update event.
