Tech - In units, MSFT SQL is a major player, with nearly 50% of installations. But they play to much smaller customers - they are at 1/10 the average number of users. Oracle dominates in users. IBM's DB2 has the dominant share of mainframes (DUH!!) and is making inroads in IBM shops on other platforms, mostly RS/6000. DB2 is a great cluster-aware database but is having a hard time outside of traditional IBM customers. MSFT has the fastest growth rate in every category of database sales - units, revenue and number of users - but they are pushing at the low end of the business.
