This famous quote of George Santayna's came to my mind when I tried to follow the publications on the inevitable cloud, in particular on Oracle's cloud. "Oracle has more cloud applications than any company. And cloud apps are hard work to build." - refer to Larry Ellison at OpenWold user conference Undoubtedly the ultimate foundation for Oracle cloud is the database Oracle12c - refer to Andy Mendelsohn at OpenWorld As matters now stand, it is time to remember Santayana's dictum and take a look, how the grandmaster of Oracle database consultants, Donald K. Burleson takes up an inconvenient position.
