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 greedy, self centered, and thinks money can buy good taste ?

      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.

    I use Oracle on AIX, Solaris and HP-UX at work, most of my day involves resizing volume groups and logical volumes on these systems (over 100 systems multiple databases per system), until I get more chance dealing with LVM on linux and do benchmarking connecting to sharks, and fast Ts I will stick to my trusty mysql and postgres linux databases.

    Linux is helping my dick, because I am able to meet up with some hookers using my Linux phone. Too bad they all have AIDS, but you know what? I don't give a fuck.
