No. I criticized it because the proper spelling of Ingres is something of a litmus test for whether one has had any real exposure to the product. Eg, I have had to correct many a CA salesman in years past for not knowing anything about their own product, including how to spell the name. (They have been doing rather better recently.)

As for "problem", I am going to content myself with ensuring that the facts presented about Ingres are correct. I trust someone else will do the same for Oracle.
