“And now Oracle is all.”

Someone tell me Kevin has this on a bumper sticker for me.

And what does “we can’t just turn on the garden hose and hose everybody down” mean?

Yes, big thanks to Paul for organising this, Christo for the good questions and Kevin for staying connected in this way. A few minutes good quality reading and as far as I’m concerned this is good for Oracle, good for their customers and good for geeks.

Oh, and Paul …

“So, I must say–just to go on the record–that this is not at all what I thought you might be cooking up, but by the same token — and obviously the evidence for that is all over the Pythian blog, where we had a speculative blog entry about what might be in-store.”

Humility. Nice touch ;-)

“I am tremendously impressed and really excited”

Complete agreement.

Nice one, chaps!

Excellent interview, gentlemen!! Great detail and insight into the inner-workings of this new solution from Oracle. When do the Pythian Podcasts begin? :)
