Oracle users keen on open source databases (firebird included)

August 21, 2006 mariuz Leave a comment

Oracle users are keen supporters of open source software with as many as 60% of Oracle enterprise database sites including open source operating systems. This is accroding to a recent study, Open Source in the Stack, conducted by the Independnet Oracle Users Group (IOUG).

The survey of IOUG members conducted in June 2006 also found that as many as 37% of Oracle users were also running one of the popular open source databases alongside their Oracle implementations. [Firebird percentage is 2% in that report]
