>>Yahoo is using an Oracle database<<

Yahoo is using a Google database :)


Quote:
At Yahoo Inc.'s Yahoo!Finance division, "we use [MySQL] for a lot of things, a lot of our back-end sort of processing," said Technical Yahoo Jeremy Zawodny. MySQL handles chores like data retrieving and sorting, from which the Web pages are produced. "There's a couple reasons we use it. One is that it's lightning fast. The other is that it's easy to configure. You can literally just set it up and walk away. The downside is that it doesn't have all the features Oracle has, but 99 percent of people don't need them."

Yahoo, of Sunnyvale, Calif., uses Oracle elsewhere in the organization.
