Computerworld today's edition had several articles near the end on databases. The last one mentioned ODBMS' and ODIS + VSNT were listed in one sentence. The entire remainder of the article was on CA/Jasmine, its customers, etc. Better than not being mentioned, but still shows the work required by marketing to advance awareness!
Stock performance recently is pathetic!!!!!!

You could be right Gustave. I definitely hope so.

The bit about "ObjectStore caching retailer and product data in the middle tier" is also interesting. It suggests to me that iMall might even be using a relational database on the back-end.

Without any more detail, it seems almost impossible to figure out how iMall's system works, where ObjectStore fits in, and how many ObjectStore licenses they bought.
