Worldwide RDBMS 2007 Vendor Analysis: Top 10 Vendor License Revenue by Operating Environment and 2008 Year in Review

This IDC study offers a commentary on the relational database management systems (RDBMS) market in 2008 and provides data and analysis regarding license revenue for the top 10 vendors in 2007, with breakdowns by vendor and by vendor within operating environment.

"The relational database management systems market grew fairly well in 2007, with a low-double-digit growth rate, and 2008 appears to have been a pretty good year as well," says Carl Olofson, research vice president for Information Management and Data Integration Software research at IDC. "2007 saw a continuation of the growth factors that propelled the market in 2006, including an increasing use of RDBMS for distributed data management and failover standby databases and a strong increase in the use of database applications within the small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment of the market."
