Eric

*You* are asking *me* a question ?

Although I am willing to be charitable, noting your politeness, given your previous behaviour, I do have to step carefully.

So let me get this right.

1. I named a category: Commercial RDBMS, which has five named members. You noticed Oracle wasn't in it. You want to know why. That means you think Oracle should be in it. Otherwise there is no question to ask.
2. And you don't know the answer. Otherwise there is no question to ask.
3. And you are asking someone who does know the answer. Which, if provided, would be an education, your level of knowledge in the subject would be elevated. An education which you did not have, when you asked the question, before I supplied the answer.

Could you please confirm the above, have I got that right ?

There are *many* *specific* reasons, not *one* as you speculate, for the exclusion. I am not so charitable as to enumerate them, for someone who based on past behaviour, does not acknowledge the delivery of education; or confirm that an elevation has occurred.
