Gartner Says Worldwide Relational Database Market Increases 8 Percent in 2005May 29, 2006; 05:53 AM
Linux grew the fastest of all the RDBMS platforms (84 percent), driven primarily by Oracle, and the maturation and user acceptance of the Linux platform as a mission-critical DBMS platform. RDBMS on the mainframe platform continued to show strength, growing faster than the Unix platform, and even beating the overall growth rate. Gartner analysts said the worldwide RDBMS market is poised for continued growth through 2010 as data management and integration take on a strategic importance in an increasing number of organizations "The market will see healthy growth, reflecting ongoing demand for relational database management systems used for online transaction procession, which has been the main driver of growth in the past," Ms. Graham said. "The market will also experience increased demand from organizations buying relational database management systems for business intelligence and data warehousing activities. The latter factor is being driven by an explosion of data that is being captured by organizations today." Gartner defines RDBMS as a database management system that incorporates the relational data model, normally including a Structured Query Language (SQL) application programming interface. It is a DBMS in which the database is organized and accessed according to the relationships between data items. In a relational database, relationships between data items are expressed by means of tables. Interdependencies among these tables are expressed by data values rather than by pointers. This allows a high degree of data independence. Additional information is available in the Gartner report "Market Share: Relational Database Management Systems by Operating System, Worldwide, 2005." The report provides market share results for the RDBMS market in Windows, Unix and Linux platforms.
