And PostgreSQL blows them both out of the water!  Sun was getting
behind Postgres.  I wonder what will happen to that now?  They could
have supported or branded Postgres and had a real, competitive
offering in the DB areana.  Now they have another orphan.  One way to
waste a BILLION bucks!

As a shareholder I am NOT happy!!!
