I
understand an Oracle database was running onboad the yacht but...
it
must not have been tuned well...
or
maybe they were using BCHR tuning methods...
or
maybe there wasn't a good DBA onboard...
or
maybe the DBA was Larry and he was dependent on using
OEM...
or
maybe it wasn't unbreakable and there were some ora-00600's.
Actually I watched one of the races on ESPN and the commentators said 1)
the skipper made a few tactical errors in desperation because 2) the boat did
not perform as well under higher winds. (>15) Maybe the bid wind was
sitting on board. ;-) If there had been less wind it would have probably
won. FWIW.

Subject: RE: Americas CupWell, Larry Ellison allegedly has MiG 25 which is an interceptor airplanearmed to blow other airplanes out of the sky. It doesn't have any weaponsystem to sink a ship. He should purchase few F-16 and A-10 planes.Those can be used against ships. Speaking of the race, allegedly those GPSnavigation systems they use in the modern yachts are running SQL Server.Larry couldn't have won with a software like that.-----Original Message-----

Larry Ellison has spent 95 million (US) attempting to become the challenger
to Team New Zealand for the Americas Cup. Unfortunately did not make the
grade...http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/sundaystartimes/auckland/0,2106,2204857a6469,00
