IT-Analysis spoke to Gordon Mangione, the vice-president of Microsoft's SQL Server Team, about SQL Server and where he sees it in the market.
How's the year been for SQL Server?
SQL Server has had a truly tremendous year. We've nailed down 35 per cent year-on-year growth. We've broken the $1 billion sales mark. And we aren't leaving it there. We've got Oracle firmly in our sights. We are catching them with ease right now, last year we outdid them on NT whilst they remained flat. Our database business is one of the best places you could wish to be right now.
