ORCL, INFX, and others have been able to hide their intrinsic inefficiencies by the advent of ever more powerful hardware.

There was no compelling reason for any Information Technology Executive to embrace "Object Technology" versus "Relational Technology" prior to the Internet and especially in the embryonic stages of "Business to Business" growth. The large RDBMS ships were able to navigate in the initial thrust, but now that we are talking about serious business to business implementations that must be maintained and are to last for years to come, well that broadens the discussion quite a bit. If ORCL and others are going to reinvent their databases to support a true "object model", then I would have to say that the heated discussion we are experiencing on this thread right now might be diminished.

But I agree with Ahhaha that the RDBMS vendors have resisted and will continue to resist an "object model" implementation of their products and even if they finally decide to do so, the opportunity window and their existing business models will preclude them from embracing the same.

Conversely, Excelon can support the integration of those large RDBMS repositories as they exist today. They can also assist any large corporation in implementing "Business to Business" just as they are, and they also have an "Object Database" that is available for future system implementations when desired.

There may not have been a compelling reason to implement object technology in the past because it wasn't the safe career move to recommend the same and of course the existing hardware could handle it (irrespective of cost that is), but every day that passes provides a more compelling reason that the complexities of the internet and serious Business to Business performance implementations will only survive with the existence of products such as Excelon.
