Mladen,

    Well, hold onto your b&^t because about a year ago I read about a certain
Navy Aircraft carrier that was headed back to port because their MicroSlop
SQL*Server DB had irreparably crashed.  I understand it was replaced by "another
vendor's DB".  Wonder who that could have been?

BTW: The USAF declared Oracle the RDBMS of choice back in 1989.

As a DBA working in the US, I can only confirm that Oracle, strangely
enough, is not much
used in the parts of the US within the polar circle. I also doubt that there
are any Oracle DBAs 
on the decks of the US nuclear subs. To appease to world, there aren't any
SQL Server DBAs
either. Having Microsoft controlling the ICBMs would definitely be too close
to disaster for my
taste.

one of my friends returning from America told that ORACLE is not much used
in America. 
                Is it True??
