Hello?
Did someone forget the glaringly obvious bit whereby SAP just threatened to put a big dent in Oracle's enterprise database sales? I can't recall the exact percentages but the main databases used with SAP are Microsoft SQL and Oracle, and if SAP decides to simply build-in Sybase's database product into the SAP stack it can cut both out of the deal! On the M$ front that would be all the more ironic given the common heritage of M$ SQL Server and Sybase's ADS. It would also be a serious number one on Oracle's bonfire given that, despite Larry's gabber about offering the whole stack, Oracle doesn't seem to e quite there yet.
