Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Demand for databases will continue to rebound in 2005, as enterprises expand their application portfolios and outgrow existing ones. Increased competition will drive prices down, but overall, database license revenues will continue to grow at a slow pace. Database security will continue to gain importance across the industry, especially for those storing private data, primarily driven by increased intrusions and growing regulatory requirements. Open source will strengthen its bid for a slice of the low-end database market with enhanced features and technical support. Database innovation and product enhancements will continue to be focused around security, automation, synchronization, performance, and availability.
