You'd be surprised... Look at what Oracle has been doing recently with all its acquisitions. Now they need to integrate all this stuff... how do they call the magic solution to solve the mess these days... Oracle Fusion? Anyway, this is IMHO and very subjective but makes me thinking that knowledgeable Oracle engineers (DBAs, developers, analysts) will be in high demand next years. :) On 2/11/07, cosmin ioan <cosmini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
thanks for the input, but I'd want to think that there's gotta be a better reason than that. With all the knowledge they have about databases and stuff, creating reasonably complete apps should not be that difficult. Is it possible that, perhaps, they did not want the real world to reverse engineer their apps? I'm sure, with enough persistence and looking through trace files etc, one would be able to accomplish that, so, that's likely not the reason....
