Now show me the breakdown of how much of the IBM business is from non-RDMBS tools (that do not speak SQL as their first language) and how much from RDBMS's. And are you thinking that more or less than 50% of IBM's slice is DB2? I would really like to know that.
The questions I have about how much of the database market uses open source and how much uses non-SQL-based approaches are not answered by a chart like this nor by the suggestion of looking at position openings. Perhaps it does answer the question for the OP, however. --dawn Received on Sat Nov 05 2005 - 15:32:57 CET
