You heard it here first! Over at Slashdot they're talking about open-source databases eating into Oracle's market-share (and to a lesser extent IBM). If you have an account, just set the comment rank filter to "4." The accompanying article from Bloomberg News is a bit off since it talks mostly about MySQL rather than PostgresSQL. For non-geeks out there-think about dumping your Oracle stock if you're a long-term investor who doesn't think their diversification via the application-server market will work (and it seems right now it isn't).
