[edit] Inter company relations
Until recently Oracle was SAP's database of choice. However, with increased competition in the applications space, SAP shifted away from Oracle: they still support SAP on Oracle, but not as their preferred database platform of choice.
According to http://www.oracle.com/sap, SAP will support Oracle 11g.
[edit] Law suite
On 22nd March 2007 Oracle filed a case against SAP for malpractice and unfair competition in the Californian courts. The complaint alleged that SAP TN (formerly TomorrowNow before purchased by SAP), which provides discount support for legacy Oracle products, used the accounts of former Oracle customers to download patches and support documents from Oracle's website and appropriating them for SAP's use.
SAP has admitted to inappropriate downloads, however the company denies theft of any intellectual property.
