IBM - Lotus Notes? That product sucks like a Dyson. With respect to IBM and Database - I dont think so - mysql is more of a competetor.
I also don't agree with Linux client as a competetor. Also, where is Amazon cloud on the list, and Android on the tablet since most new tablets use Android. |

| #1: Hilariously, a lot of companies still use Notes and Domino. My wife's co used to use it until they migrated to the Gmail business service. As for DBs, from what I understand Oracle is the king of the enterprise database. MySQL and Postgres are toys by comparison. |

Most enterprises use Oracle or Teradata. many also have SQL Server to handle more low to middle end requirements. MySQL will be positions to grab more of these lower end DB requirements from SQL Server. This post was edited by rxcall on Friday, July 30, 2010 at 13:01. |
