Re: If Oracle Want to Grow again.
Agree with the move to Postgres; I've been involved with several applications that have done just that. Not only was there a slight overall performance boost (around 10% if I recall) but Postgres is miles easier to deploy and manage, and there are no hassles with licensing.
As for the marketing droids above, MS SQL didn't even enter into discussion with any of the vendors concerned.
