Well you apparently didn't read very far into the url that you cited.

The Embedded Database fray includes enterprise players like Microsoft Corp., who started shipping their SQL Server 2000 with a small footprint of 1MB and Oracle Corp. with their Oracle Database 10g targeted at the embedded market.

"Directly linked into the application" ... now that's a bizarre and meaningless sentence.

My sentence "Hidden and requiring little if any administrator attention" might be a better concept.

Yes Oracle does do the embedded database thing. As someone else already pointed out, it IS mostly a licensing thing. EMC for instance embeds an oracle database into their control center. Lots of example's if you dig very far.

Does that help with what you are considering? Received on Sun Oct 09 2005 - 08:03:36 CDT
