Oracle has further restricted it’s “Find a faster database, win a million dollars” contest to exclude all open source databases, databases that start with the letters “D”, “S” or “I”, and Microsoft Access. Quotes Oracle CEO Larry Elison: “These aren’t really restrictions–we’re just trying to compare apples to apples here. Oh, and we’re not accepting any results from databases that run on Apple products either.”
