[opencms-dev] Database Feedback?

[Achim Westermann]

Answer is:
Managers, Powerpoint, fear of doing something uncommon (in the 
management context), sharing and supporting the addiction to the good 
feeling to get your ass licked by salesmen within the group that decide 
what product to use and being save by saying: "Man this is 
(Oracle|IMB|...) the decision cannot be wrong or would you be brave 
enough to blame the leaders?". At least Oracle understood that they had 
to buy Sun/mysql. Just in case someone noticed the portfolio of that 
company would be better than comparable oracle products. That's business 
alright.

P.S.: Innovations with all their risks are invented down there. The 
small companies that are brave to try out non-mainstream technology and 
prove success get bought. That's not only true for software, music is an 
example too.
