'Microsoft Corp.'s sales of relational database software rose 11 percent in 2003, outpacing growth at the market's two top players, IBM and Oracle Corp., according to a report released on Wednesday. The entire relational database market grew 5.1 percent to $7.0 billion in 2003, after having fallen nearly 6 percent in 2002, according to the study by information technology research firm Gartner Inc.

Oracle's database software sales rose 2.4 percent in 2003 as its market share declined to 32.6 percent from 33.4 percent in 2002, leaving it in the second spot, Gartner said. Microsoft picked up the difference, growing 11 percent to $1.3 billion and increasing its market share to 18.7 percent from 17.7 percent.

International Business Machines Corp. retained the top position as its market share was flat at 35.7 percent with growth of 4.9 percent in 2003 over 2002.'
