How do you know that?
- dragonwriter 10y agoThere have been published reports that they are trying to move to PostgreSQL specifically, and off of Oracle more generally. This is an example (with links to some others): http://fortune.com/2016/05/11/salesforce-two-software-worlds/ http://fortune.com/2016/05/11/salesforce-two-software-worlds...
