I was with Oracle when the OO thing was big. At least it meant that the whole OCI layer was rewritten for 8.0, which was good for many things. Today, that's what's happening with XML databases. Oracle will store them in LOBs (and in 9.2 in a number of tables) while dedicated XML databases will store them in a number of tables and say it's faster or smarter or whatever. Let's see.

But a user group giving in to pressure is never a good thing. I hope it's not true that Teradata was removed from the IOUG-A. I really do.

constructs (this was before the 8 days)... never mind that his Oracle
databases performed much better than his other "Object oriented
database"..... :-) He wanted to throw Oracle out solely on this basis....
fortunately, his boss found his reasoning to be less than understandable.

PHB's? I looked it up and all I could find that fit was "Psycho Hose
Beast". Is that correct?

Please respond to

ORACLE-L









I can't imagine why they would want to replace Oracle with Teradata.

It's expensive. It runs only on NCR or Windoze.

The architecture is nothing special.

I imagine the PHB's had their fingers in those moves.

Been there, got the T-shirt, now it's a dust rag.

DBA's

Check the article's comment on Oracle trying to ban Teradata from IOUG

Teradata Steals Oracle's Data Mart Users ...

Teradata pushes consolidation and woos away Oracle customers. But Oracle
strikes back. Sort of. Will bean counters surf the Web with Excel? Will
Steve Ballmer and Larry Ellison become immortal?
