Come on now. The quality of a database does not ensure that it will live. Look at INGRES. It was technically the best on the market but poor marketing combined with incompetent upper management destroyed this product. Now it's just a cash cow for as long as CA can milk the existing Ingres customer base.

(I've worked with Sybase and INGRES, but never Oracle, so I cannot agree or disagree about which is better: oracle or sybase)Received on Thu Dec 01 1994 - 19:24:48 CET
