Amazon's Oracle move shows open source won't gain in the cloud
3 February 2011, 5:00 am

I was not surprised to hear Amazon's announcement that it now rocks Oracle's database in its cloud. Clearly it's a response to Salesforce.com's Database.com, but it also addresses the fact that most enterprises love Oracle.

Currently Amazon offers MySQL on demand, an open source relational database.  However, I suspect that enterprises and government agencies out there just did not want to give up their existing Oracle installations -- and perhaps for good reason.
