I agree with you about row-level locking. It was a major problem and Oracle solved it. THEN, once applications were programmed to use Oracle's method of row-level locking, it wasn't easy to switch to anyone else's implementation. Another thing I've been thinking about Oracle lately: the Gorilla Game states somewhere that the correct strategy for a would-be gorilla inside the tornado is to "ignore the user" and just concentrate on filling demand. I can honestly say that Oracle's development tools are horrible (especially in comparison with Microsoft's SQL Server). It was hard for me to imagine, when I started working with Oracle, how on earth they got to be the market-leader with tools like that. Now it makes sense to me -- they didn't have time to revamp their development tools. They were too busy shipping product. (In all fairness, Oracle's database engine is terrific.) --Tracey
