Re: Oracle Future???

Hi Eva,

I believe you have intercepted one of Bill Gates Dreams :-).

Actually I believe this message, taken out of context is in reference to Orcacle's express,
financial and sales analyzer products.  Those products are being integreated into the 9i
database, and at least in the opinion of ORacle this will make these products stronger and
more of a threat, not less.  

It doesn't suprise me that MS marketing disagrees.

  Hi Folks,
  Wonder if anyone would like to comment, my MSSQL DBA sent me a couple of emails from a MSSQL mailing list, they were discussing the future of MSSQL.
  Some of the comments included comments about our DB - Oracle.
  I've added two here...
...With Hyperion been seriously challenged
and overrun by Analysis Services, oracle will completely die out as they integrate their current offering into Oracle9i. ....
...Oracle will become another Apple:

5% market share. ...
  Do you guys agree? Is Oracle doing
anything about the very serious threat that MSSQL is placing on their market share?
  No, plans of changing personally,
but wondering if cross education won't be beneficial:)   Regards
  Denham
