You completely disregard the timeline regarding this case. Can you relate your
comments to a specific legal area in contention?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

All it takes is for someone to successfully market the Pick MultiValue model
(and Cache are doing a decent job), and all the relational databases will start
melting away.
While relational is good solid maths, like all maths it provides no guarantees
that the resulting equations can be solved quickly. On the other hand,
engineering provides solid proof that relational solving MUST be inefficient.

Oracle is bound not only by the licenses and contracts of Sun, but also the
statements and actions of Sun. And their own own previous statements and
actions. This is basis of estoppel.
Java had the benefit of Sun's claims that the language was free and open. Many
developers would have avoided using a language that was proprietary.
In general, developers understood the need for the Java trademarks, fees for
using those trademarks and a for-fee compatibility test. Sun got the benefit of
having the "brand name" implementations, and having control of the
language.
Oracle now wants both the advantage of the developers and applications gained
from Sun's declared openness, and royalty stream from every implementation as if
it had been proprietary all along.
