Worldwide Embedded Database Management Systems 2003 Vendor Shares

This IDC study examines the performance of the embedded database management systems (DBMS) competitive market in 2003 and provides vendor share data and comparisons.

"The future looks good for embedded DBMS as environments become increasingly componentized and application and tool vendors look for ways to encapsulate and manage their internal data without publishing it to the broader environment or requiring database maintenance on the part of the DBAs or operations staff." — Carl Olofson, program director, Information Management and Data Integration Software
