Podcast: Spatial Databases: A Commodity?
This week's question: Is the spatial database a commodity? With all the big database players storing and querying spatial data and several open source offerings in the market, is spatial no longer special when in comes to the database world? Is it time to "stop getting excited" about the addition of spatial support and simply use the technology?

Oracle, DigitalGlobe To Offer Imagery Service
Update: (Adena here) For those who note a PR on this topic from 2007, Joe assured me it's something different. I sent him that very link!

After the IPO this morning of DigitalGlobe (DGI), news was available that the company will offer an imagery service with the next release of Oracle Spatial similar to the service that Oracle has with NAVTEQ. Users will be able to injest imagery data into Oracle Spatial and a 60-day trial license made available to try data. More details later.

Ellison on Sun Java: "the single most important software asset we have ever acquired"
(From San Francisco Chronicle) Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle says this about the acquisition of Sun: "Java runs on hundreds of millions of computers, cell phones and even DVDs, and Oracle's fusion middleware is based entirely on Sun Java," said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison. "Java is the single most important software asset we have ever acquired."
In a conversation I had tonight with one Oracle source I was told that you need to put Ellison's comments in perspective: Ellison is saying that this acquisition is bigger than Seibel, bigger than PeopleSoft, bigger than BEA Systems, bigger than Hyperion. And as the SF Chronicle pointed out, this wasn't a hostile take over or a move to put a competitor out of business like some of the other acquistions. This appears to be both a strategic technology grab and in the case of MySQL, perhaps a move to drive a wedge between one lower end SQL database alternative coming out of Redmond, Washington.
