Interesting information about how Oracle can break. As I have said for years any back end can break. It is a fallacy that only dbf’s break and are not stable. I have seen SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle and dbf’s break. Such problems can be minimized and most of the time resolved. The difference in these different data bases is the cost and monies associated with each. The more money the greater the hype!
Terms like stability, and security are marketing words that can mean anything. The more money you pour into marketing the more the world will believe your message. There are ways to increase stability and security but not to the point of perfection. Everything has a price and a limit.
