I noticed that Oracle didn't send anyone to help PC Magazine configure
Oracle... because Oracle is now "working on a new product."

Sheesh.

Imagine the scores they could have obtained if they had sent someone like
Ahmed Alomari to look after their setup.

Subject:        RE: Battle of the databases, Part II

I got this last week.  A VERY interesting footnote, which was not with the
article but was in the editor's notes at the beginning of the magazine, in
Forward Thinking was this;

"And in the course of our review of SQL databases, Microsoft and Oracle
pointed to clauses in their licensing agreements that restrict the
publishing of test results without their permission. They backed down when
we patiently explained to them that we intended to proceed with our
testing."

Read it here.  Last paragraph.
