MaxDB 7.5 - Some technical questions

Hi all,

I do have some technical related questions I haven't found an answer in 
the Online documentation so far.


1) Full-Text search

Does MaxDB have a built-in full-text search facility?


2) Clustering, Load-Balancing

I've read that MaxDB supports clustering for fail-over (hot-standby). 
Does that also support load-balancing in an clustering environment that 
means spread client request across different nodes in a cluster?


3) Gateways, Connectivity

Is it possible to connect to different DBMS within a stored procedure or 
trigger via "gateways"?

Does MaxDB support cross database queries within one SELECT Statement?


4) Prepared Statements

Does MaxDB support prepared statements that means an SQL statement gets 
"prepared" (the syntax of the SQL statement is validated, the statement 
gets compiled into a language the server understands) and executed only 
with different parameter values?


5) Parts of one SQL statement in parallel

In an SMP environment. Is it possible to split one SQL statement into 
parts which are executed on different CPUs?


6) Two-Phase commit protocol

Does MaxDB support the 2PC protocol?

If yes, is it XA-compliant or can MaxDB run in a XA-environment?


7) Memory usage > 2GB

I've read MaxDB (32-bit versions) can use > 2GB memory on Windows by 
enabling AWE support. Is it possible to address more than 2GB memory on 
other platforms as well?

What about the 64-bit versions of MaxDB?


Any help is much appreciated.


Thanks a lot!


Thomas
