Linux Helping Oracle

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-the-merrier dept.

Mr. Fahrenheit writes "CNN has a story about how Oracle's effort to port their database to Linux may be helping them to out pace IBM." From the article: "In its biennial survey of the world's largest databases, WinterCorp, a database research and consulting company, reported that Oracle dominated its list of 175 large databases. For the first time, databases running on Linux appeared on WinterCorp's list -- and all of them came from Oracle."

      As in had a plan, built a company, worked hard, saw it to fruition and made a lot of money.

      Yes, an American icon.

      The same America that foreigners have flocked to by the millions for 150 years, because their native countries are too fscked up.
