The problem for Oracle is that at the very least DB2 and MSSQL also work and are scalable. I rather suspect that mySQL will join them very shortly.

Don't get me wrong I do think that Oracle is a superior product, but for nearly all enterprises the competitor products are almost certainly perfectly acceptable.
