Oracle have published a PDF comparing their new XML DB to Mark Logic 4.1.
It’s amazing how openly hostile they are. Instead of comparing the two products on any meaningful basis, they resort to making vague, unsubstantiated claims about their superiority. It really comes across as desperation and highlights that Oracle clearly feel threatened by Mark Logic. It’ll be interesting to see how Mark Logic respond – CEO Dave Kellogg has said he’ll post a response on his blog in the next few days.
A good post here by Stephen Arnold:

I’m running a few days behind, but do plan to get one or more posts up in the coming days. Plus we’ll be hosting a webinar in the next few weeks.
Dave Kellogg, Mark Logic CEO.
