That is simply completely incorrect. All major databases support this. Oracle, Sybase, and Informix for sure. Hell, I was doing that with Sybase DBAPI 10 years ago.

Submission + - Vista sucks batteries.
LWATCDR writes: It looks like more issues with Vista Vista drains notebook batteries. Using the Aero interface really eats into your notebooks battery life. Of course one of the new "features" of Vista is supposed to be better power management. Of course this provides a great opportunity for a showdown. How long until someone loads Vista on a MacBook and compares run time? It would provide a flat playing field now that Apple makes Intel powered notebooks.
For our next test how about Vista and Ubuntu on a Dell? What review site will step up to this challenge?
Feed Verizon Wireless Files Another Lawsuit Against Telemarketers, Solely For PR Purp (techdirt.com)
On multiple occasions, Verizon Wireless has tried to gloss over its security shortcomings with PR-friendly lawsuits. The suits attempt to draw attention away from the company's inability to protect customers' private information or to stop telemarketers from harassing its subscribers. It's filed yet another one of these suits, alleging some unknown party made more than 1 million calls to its customers using an autodialer. While Verizon's trying to look tough, the suit really does little more than expose their own inadequacies again. It notes that the calls all carried the same or similar caller ID, and were made as quickly as once every .83 seconds. Given that, couldn't the company have take some action against them, instead of letting them go and deciding simply to file a pointless lawsuit against an unknown party?
