Subject: How does DB contribute to other fields than chess and ad?

Hi everyone,

IBM said that after tournament with Kasparov, Deep Blue would return to normal
work and contribute to some fields like finance, medicine, education, molecular
dynamics problem and so on. However I hardly believe that DB technique could be
useful to those fields, at least in a direct way. Today chess technique turns
into a very specific one in the way of its searching, organizations of database
and knowledge. This is almost different from techniques of any other field. As a
result, besides chess and ad, DB chess technique would be useless.

This is my thought only and I will be happy if someone could show me some
evidence that DB and its technique have contributed successfully to other fields
(and my hobby of computer chess would be useful for more people than the chess
enthusiasts and me :-) ).
