well, I did not choose the order in the headline.
I was just giving some Additional Info that I got from the web -- didn't mean to say that *you* have done something wrong. I think that's obvious, so please don't take it personally (next time!).
Oracle is still the leader, as per the latest IDC report, with 39.4 percent market share.
That it is. agreed. But it'd be interesting to know what steps oracle and its ilk are taking to keep a step ahead of such 'competition'.
That you have to ask Oracle. See http://www.oracle.com/
Also, ask IBM [http://www.ibm.com/] and Microsoft [http://www.microsoft.com/] to check what they're doing.
I mean, does oracle even consider MySQl and PostGreSQL as competition even though the MySQL CEO claims tht MySQL has 20% marketshare?
Well, as per the IDC report it's Oracle:39.4, IBM:33.6, and Microsoft:11.1. That leaves only 15.9 to share between Sybase, NCR Teradata, and "other vendors".
And also, I'm not sure whether MySQL even qualifies for a *relational* dbms. Does it?
