- its not just for programmers

Oracle has bought Peoplesoft, retek and (soon) Siebel for customer base. They have bought TimesTen, Oblix, triplehop and others to fill niche areas which they arent filling now. The Innobase deal is the same thing - its the niche technology they dont have (an opensource engine) with a customer base (they were profitable). The programmers are important - but only because they were maintaining and building on the existing codebase.
Oracle10G is unbelievably different from MySQL. They arent going to turn over the key technology of the company to a different set of programmers. OracleDB goes through a different revision every year maybe year and a half - anybody working with Oracle7 and now looking at 10G would be looking at a completely different DB. I doubt anyone working on a 10G db would view it as antiquated ...
Ithink you are underestimating Oracle's strategic capabilities. The InnoDB buy is more about InnoDB than it is about the programmers. And it isnt to kill off InnoDB. - Posted by: georgef Posted on: 10/15/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

It's definitely a bigger threat to MS SQL.
