<<To all: any comments on this? news.com; there are all sorts of folks that are saying that the good database companies are going under due to the web, but think for a moment...What is the draw of the web. First, email, second other types of information, stories, news, naughty bits, etc.. Guess what all of these things have in common, databases. The next wave on the net, IMHO, will be video on demand. And guess what will be reguired to handle the billing and access to all the stuff. Yup databases.. Oracle is at the top of the list when it comes to databases. Look around they are all beat up, sybase, informix, etc.. After the first of the year the funds are going to come back here. |
