Funny.
I would guess that in most places, the centroid of the mass and
axis of rotation isn't "Oracle".
Their users probably care about their applications and access to
their data (and availability of), not on what database, what operating
systems on what hardware is supporting the backend functionality.
... I once saw an Oracle sales training slide that showed a guy waking
up
in the morning. There was a thought bubble in the cartoon that read "I
want Real Application Clusters, so I better get an Oracle database. I
better figure out quick which FC Host Bus Adaptors I'll need because I
want AMD processors in my DELL servers to attach to my SAN...after I
figure out what SAN to buy. I know I want Linux instead of Windows so I
better figure out what application will work with Linux. Since Oracle
intends to take over control of Linux, I'm sure my application will be
happy in the stack I choose."
