My experiences are to the contrary. Broadvision is a seriously flawed 'database independent' product, which doesn't support the concept of referential integrity in the database. Consequently, you can't delete any records, but you can only flag them as deleted, because 'disk is cheap' according to a Broadvision consultant.

I don't think MS SQL and MySQL will ever develop into serious competitors against Oracle.

You are recommended to forget everything you learned about MS SQL and MySQl, especially your habit of not reading the manual.
