Oracle does have new products, and there is still a lot of data that isn't in relational databases. In fact, most of the data in the world isn't in any databases. I know from previous posts that you are very bullish on OODB's, but there are a lot of other dimensions in which database technology can go, and Oracle is pursuing one of them quite aggressively. There is always the chance that they are backing the wrong horse, but it's a real horse this time. (It's the same general idea as before, it's just that this time there is real technology implementing the idea...) The way to read the marketing literature isn't that previous Oracle releases were what is needed for e-commerce, but that Oracle has penetration and credibility in that market. So if you believe that the new products are the right thing for e-commerce, then they are in a very good position going forward. That's a number of if's, but I feel it's the right direction.
