Re: Teradata baned from IOUG???

I was with Oracle when the OO thing was big. At least it meant that the whole OCI layer was rewritten for 8.0, which was good for many things. Today, that's what's happening with XML databases. Oracle will store them in LOBs (and in 9.2 in a number of tables) while dedicated XML databases will store them in a number of tables and say it's faster or smarter or whatever. Let's see.

But a user group giving in to pressure is never a good thing. I hope it's not true that Teradata was removed from the IOUG-A. I really do.
