Interesting interview with the CEO of Oracle, especially the first
section where he dismisses open-source databases outright:
http://www.linux-mag.com/cgi-bin/printer.pl?issue=2002-11&article=ellison
Most interesting quote about open-source databases:
> It's not just scale. There's no security. [There's no] scalability,
> security, or reliability. If you give up any of those, you can't
> do this. Another reason you'd be out of your mind to use them is
> because you'd have to buy twice as much hardware. We run, I don't
> know, ten times, a hundred times faster than they do on the same hardware.
