Gustave, Just in case ODIS managemnt are reading this, I would like to add to your statement "ODIS is the fastest-growing database vendor" the qualification "(by a narrow margin)". I have heard ODIS staff mention a trend growth rate of 30-40%. Actually, the revenue trend has been historically 20-30%, but at least we are at the high end of that range now (in trend terms) and I would expect the trend to accelerate toward 40%. I just hope ODIS management understand clearly that, when ORCL was this size, it grew revenues at 100%+ for about 5 straight years. Beating Oracle's growth rate by a small fraction doesn't mean this company isn't underachieveing.
