Oracle 12.1c in-memory database

Oracle Makes Big Promises After Weak Earnings - Software - Enterprise:
"...
Ellison also revealed that Oracle will announce a 12c upgrade by year end that will delivery in-memory capabilities, a clear response to SAP Hana as well as in-memory database enhancements promised by IBM and Microsoft.

"Oracle 12.1c will be an in-memory database designed to work exceedingly well with our M-Series [Sparc] machines, which have more memory than any other computer on the planet," said Ellison, noting that the M-Series offers 32 terabytes of RAM. "One of the reasons I was very confident that SAP Hana could never compete with Oracle over the long term is because of 12.1c.""


So relational databases will for NoSQL try similar "trick"
used to compete with Object and XML databases before,
"embrace and extend"...
