I'm sorry but I thought that IOUG was independant from Oracle? If Larry is afraid of a little competition then perhaps he should get out of the market. If not then he should battle it out in every venue possible and show why Oracle is better.

If Rich and the guys do this they will be setting a dangerous precedant.

Check the article's comment on Oracle trying to ban Teradata from IOUG

Teradata Steals Oracle's Data Mart Users ...

Teradata pushes consolidation and woos away Oracle customers. But Oracle strikes back. Sort of. Will bean counters surf the Web with Excel? Will Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison become immortal?
