>>To all: any comments on this?
Here is a revised link, because the other gave the one for the current day:

This guy does not know what he is talking about. Any medium to large web site in the future is going to be DBMS based, and a lot of current ones are already. Furthermore, at least 2 of the companies have a lot of DBMS base in their products. Specifically, I know that Netscape is a VAR to Oracle, Informix, and Sybase. Specifically, the Livewire Pro product is designed to sit on top a SQL DBMS, and this is a key part of most of their server packages. Further, they also have application server products that are based on Oracle.
I read a similar post on the ODIS thread that said that NetDynamics is also a Big 3 VAR.
It appears that someone did not bother to get his reasearch correct before he started writing. Further, if you want to look at actual deployments, I know that Informix has quite a few. You can go to their website and see at least 10 different press releases (in the last year) talking about different web applications based on Informix DBMS products; in many cases, these sites are already deployed or would be deployed soon. I am sure that you can also find a lot for Oracle and Sybase.
