Why Oracle

Most companies aern't interested in databases. They're interested in informationation that applications can give them to serve their business needs.
Most business applications in the past were written against Oracle (some against other DBs, like DB2/Informix/Sybase) because in the past open source database solutions AND computer hardware hadn't matured enough to make open source solutions practicle for databases whose loss could destroy the company.
