When Silicon Strategies Marketing was busy making SuSE famous, we formed a number of interesting alliances. At the peak of our marketing frenzy we charged IBM, AMD, VMWare and others cash to participate in the SuSE event booth - to co-brand an co-present as shown in this picture from LinuxWorld 2003 (partner co-branding flying over our booth and us holding an audience after the show closed and while exhibit hall crews rolled-up the carpets). Part of the strategy we put in play for SuSE was to communicate one step ahead of Red Hat. While the fedora-toped gang was still droning on about Linux being ... Read Full Story

LewisC's An Expert's Guide To Oracle Technology The datastore in Postgres (which is what Advanced Server is based on) is quite a bit different than the way Oracle stores data. Gone are the usual logical storage components. Data blocks, extents and segments just don't exist in a Postgres database. Actually, segments do exist when a table gets bigger than 1GB but that's a story for a different entry. Postgres stores data as files and directories. Tablespaces are directories and tables (and indexes) are files inside that directory. Postgres ships with two tablespaces installed by default: pg_default and pg_global. The tablespaces cannot be changed or ... Read Full Story

Yet when done well it accomplishes the primary objective of competitive marketing - attacking your opponent’s strengths.

This is just a little peeve of mine. When you install EnterpriseDB , you can choose either a full production license or the free EnterpriseDB Express version . On my laptop, I want to run the express version. I don't need it to use more than 1 gig of ram, more than 1 cpu or more than 6gb of disk. But I can't even install it because my hardware exceeds those specs. Oracle Express Edition has the same limitations as EnterpriseDB Express (and so does Microsoft SQL Server Express ), but Oracle (and MS) limit their hardware usage by building the limits into the ...

I wrote at several occasions, that this "Oracle purchase of Sun will limit database competition" isn't true as you can easily fork mysql and do your own development. Matt Asay has the same opinion and points to recently launched service by Amazon to substantiate his opinion:The European Commission must be feeling a bit silly right about now. Despite insisting that Oracle has not responded to its requests for comment and concessions in its...
