OSS databases making inroads - Blog of the day

Here is a good link in businessweek on how OSS databases are horning in on

the database market.

with either Postgrsql, MySql or others like the Borland interbase now know

as Firebird or even Computer Associates Ingres which was recently made

opensource. Really do most company really need all those extra features or

are they just selling feature like Picture in picture was on your new TV

which you never use now.

Here is the link for you to check out:
