Check Oracle's web site for references. The best relevant one might be Amazon.com - it's listed and they were featured in a recent Internet Week article and mentioned something like "Oracle is their most significant partner".

Also check out Winter Corp. who run annual surveys on the world's largest databases. A recent white paper of theirs is on Oracle's site.

Oracle has a reference program to allow you to talk with someone in your industry.

(No - I do not work for Oracle. Used to, though.) /Hans Received on Tue Feb 17 2004 - 23:26:08 CST
