I think that was exactly their strategy when they aquired RDB, but I
think Oracle underestimated how much RDB customers would resist losing
RDB. You can't tick off customers of that magnitude who are willing to
spend big $$$ for the reliability and performance of RDB, which is tough
to match. I think Oracle's done a decent job of continuing to develop
RDB. Its even picked up a few nice features from Oracle RDBMS like role
based secutiry and logminer. It definitely has given more than it got
though - partitioning, parallel query ...

What's really interesting is the quote from Larry indicating
that PeopleSoft will be to Oracle Apps what RDB is to Oracle RDBMS.
Take all the goodies, no development on the purchased technology.
Not sure if it appears in this arcticle, I saw it on Zdnet.
