Oracle (NSDQ: ORCL) continues to increase its share of the database
market, which continues overall to exhibit a healthy growth rate,
despite predictions in recent years ago that it was saturated,
"mature," and about to level off as a revenue generator.
The relational database market grew 12.1% from $16.6 billion in 2006
to $18.6 billion in 2007, according to figures released Friday by IDC.
Oracle's relational database revenue grew at 13% to $8.2 billion,
giving it 44.1% of the total market. In 2006, it held 43.7% of the
market.
