But you're forgetting, they are doing it for innovation and synergy not for profits and eliminating competition..... silly rabbit.

Make that 5 out of 5

And don't forget the most important one: Molson's and Coor's .... this is far scarrier than Peoplesoft and Oracle!!!!

Great!

Our company has been eagerly waiting for this merger. We completed a merger ourselves, last year.

It gave us the benefit of having both Oracle and PeopleSoft experts/consultants.

How many people work in a shop, that primarily uses Oracle? We use Oracle for the database, JDeveloper for the IDE (working on getting us to switch to Eclipse), Oracle Forms and now Oracle Portal.

I'm in charge of getting our Java environment up and running and moving us from PHP web application development, to Java. PHP may still be used for smaller applications, but Java will take over for the larger projects we now have coming in.

A few people want to use JDeveloper for the IDE, Oracle App Server for the Java server, and ADF for the architecture, and then of course Oracle for the db. Which I'm in total disagreement with, as it's putting to many of our eggs in one basket.

I'm fine with Oracle as our database (we also use postgreSQL). And can live with using JDeveloper for our IDE. (as I said, trying to get Eclipse). But I would much rather use JBoss or Tomcat for the app server and no way am I using ADF for the architecture. Spring Framework, all the way. :)
