What Oracle mean by 'Unbreakable' 2002-01-17
Anonymous
I think the writer and others have misunderstood
the meaning of the word "unbreakable". This is
what Oracle says:

"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 meaning taken
by the writer of the article, who takes unbreakable to
mean "hack free".
