Remember when Oracle was the good guy?
,----[ Quote ]
| Oracle (and IBM) opened up the market with SQL-based relational databases,
| thereby allowing independence between data and their associated applications.
| Oracle's message was "freedom of customers from mainframe lock-in." Starting
| with the VAX, Oracle gave customers freedom to negotiate between different
| mini-computer hardware suppliers.
|
| Oracle was, in other words, the open-source vendor of its day, delivering
| customer choice.
