A few weeks ago, I asked for your thoughts about the Oracle/PeopleSoft saga -- specifically your response to the surprising results of our poll showing 40% of SearchDatabase.com members believe that PeopleSoft customers would benefit from the merger. I also asked for feedback from those of you running PeopleSoft on SQL Server, which may have the most to lose.
A whole bunch of you offered your two cents. The comments were mostly hostile to Oracle, with Frank M.'s succinct comment representative: "Without question, PeopleSoft customers would suffer." However, a few of you pointed out the upsides to such a deal. Read what your peers think here.
Our brand-new sister site SearchOracle.com has complete coverage of the merger. Check it out for all the latest news, as well as technical tips, scripts and expert advice for the Oracle DBA and developer.
Till next time, Tim DiChiara, Editor
