An excellent series of articles on Oracles Future appears in Inoformation Week magazine, 12/13/93.

The Gartner Group is quoted as predicting that Oracle will grow to serve 48% of the Unix market by 1997. Oracle currently has 43% of that market.

More significantly, the market is expect to grow from an $813 million today to 2.3 billion in 1997.

Other parts of this prediction:

                        Today           1997
Informix                22%             12%
Ingres                  13%             7%
Sybase                  11%             14%
IBM                     ~0%             9
