I am sure some of these barriers might make sense to you. Nevertheless, if they incapacitate you, it is difficult to try new things. Sometimes new things are good things. So my suggestion is that you should become familiar with the technology if your business could benefit from high performance on complex data. You can expect that market growth will accelerate as Computer Associates rolls out the new release of Jasmine sometime this year.
Market growth is obviously a numbers game.
That should have a significant impact on the growth of the market. That is highly unlikely. It's difficult, if not impossible, to move off those databases. That would be unrealistic. In these cases, someone has figured out how to use high performance on complex data to meet a business need.
