tagline vote: I like it. with a two minute, "elevator ride" story about extensibility, maximum performance, and a 'best of both worlds' oo/rdbms implementation, this could work well as both positioning and frame for the benefit discussion. ordbms and rdbms are too well established / mature for simple faster / cheaper / better positioning. Here "future" can be web, e-commerce, datawarehouse, enterprise replication and scaling -- whatever YOU think the future is (except maybe network computing... ). I respect @jim's opinions, but this is gonna work way better than "think different". :-) (yea, yea, aapl stock is up... for now...)

Agree. I have already seen Oracle marketing material referring to data cartridges as being able to 'snap-in' to the database. Oracle's approach is too S-L-O-W to survive. I have heard (ok, from an Informix employee) that in a recent head to head (which Informix won), Oracle couldn't provide a single reference for their data cartridge stuff. -M
