This reminds me of one day in 94 or 95 where a DEC VAR
guy was asked about if he think it was wise of DEC to work
together with Microsoft and the reply was that Microsoft was
just a small company that noone should  be afraid of.

Lots of companies use MySQL today for databases.

Maybe not Oracle & DB2 configs, but still
hundres og gigabytes of data and huge apps
(typical web apps).

And belive me RMS index-sequential files or any
other ISAM file library would not be a practical
alternative.
