I not certain it is related, but the following exists on IBMs website:

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/success/cssdb.nsf/CS/NAVO-5DFURA?OpenDocument&Site=default

which describes IBM doing things for a web tier at eBay. It does not
mention what is running the back-end database. I have no recollection
what/who used to be "powering" the web tier at eBay.
