Lizzie, you are right about the marketing back then. I was on a campus wide committee to select a standard for databases to be used by Ohio State. After a lot of angst and a long time, we selected Sybase over Oracle. At the time it seemed to me that much of the decision was based on how well we were "courted" and who had the best press. As it turns out, the campus has gradually moved more and more to oracle for the central applications and sql server for the department level ones.
