  Gartner: IBM Steals Database Crown from Oracle

  IBM has dislodged Oracle Corp. from the top of the market for database   management software, helped along by its billion-dollar purchase of Informix   Corp., according to new figures being released today by Stamford,   Conn.-based Gartner Inc.

  In 2001, IBM and Westborough, Mass.-based Informix captured a combined 34.6%   of worldwide new license revenue from database management systems, besting   Oracle's 32%, Gartner said. In 2000, the totals were 33.7% for IBM-Informix   and 34.1% for Oracle.

  The market as a whole generated $8.8 billion in revenue, growing just 1.4%   from the previous year. In contrast, revenue climbed a brisk 10% from 1999   to 2000, Gartner said.

  Most database management systems vendors saw single-digit or negative   growth, although Microsoft Corp. was a notable exception, Gartner said. The   software giant saw revenue from new database management systems licenses   climb 17.8%, putting it in third place behind Oracle with 16.3% of the   market. Sybase Inc. was a distant fourth with 2.6%.
