Powersoft to drop Oracle support?

I am looking at the current issue of PC Week and there's a big ad for PowerSoft on page 20 which says:

		Usually a product is created
		to support an industry.

		How often does an industry
		create support for a product?

and above it is a large photograph of shrink-wrapped software boxes of database and operating system software which presumably work with PowerBuilder. Absent from the picture is any represntation of Oracle's database products, though Sybase is front and center (I wonder why???)

I am rather concerned by this - Oracle users represent something like 30% of Powersoft's customer base. Are they dropping hints that they are going to abandon their Oracle customers, or worse still are they going to try and sell us Sybase (ugh!)?

Or perhaps they think that Oracle's new generation of tools is too difficult to compete against :-) ..
