Interesting facts from the database war front
http://news.com.com/2100-1001-900688.html .

"IBM has surpassed Oracle as the leading seller of database-management
software, according to a new study.
IBM captured 34.6 percent of the revenue in the overall database market in
2001, up from 33.7 percent the previous year, according to study by Gartner
Dataquest released Tuesday. As earlier reported, Oracle fell to second place
with 32 percent of the market, down from 34.1 percent, while Microsoft
remained in third place but saw its market share rise from 14 percent to
16.3 percent."

BTW, Oracle is more expensive than DB2.
