What Oracle means by UnBreakable 2002-01-17
Anonymous (3 replies)
I think some people here have misunbderstood. This is what Oracle means by unbreakable:

"With Oracle9i Database, your business is unbreakable. Oracle9i Database is designed to eliminate the need for planned downtime and to withstand any failure: system failure, storage failure, site failure, or human error. If a server goes down, your applications keep running. And independent analysts agree."

This is quite a different meaning to the unbreakable

meaning that is understood by the writer of this article.

The writer is focussed on just hacking attempts, whereas

Oracle really means something different.
