It was clearly stated at European DECUS last week that product development will continue for at least 3 years and support for 7 years.

Name another database vendor who has clearly stated this policy about their product. The IT industry is like a rollercoaster, investing in any technology in my opinion is always a gamble. This year you are on top, next year you fall.

Hope you fell better now!
