"Is Oracle A Legacy Technology" - feedback :)

Some feedback created by firebird community (page hits) :


"Over the last couple of weeks I posted a couple of articles that generated a
lot of feedback, so much so that I thought it worth posting an update article
summarising some of the comments I received. The articles were on subjects that
tend to pretty much divide the Oracle community so it was no surprise that
opinions were in both cases pretty divergent.
The first article was entitled "Is Oracle A Legacy
Technology"
and was based on a couple of articles by
Mogens Nørgaard that
argued that databases are now, like operating systems and disk storage, a
commodity technology and that the Oracle RBDMS in particular is actually now a

"legacy" technology. The article was linked to on a number of blogs and
generated a lot of referrals from the Firebird (an open-source RDBMS)
news site
."
