eWeek: Oracle turned in a mixed report for its first fiscal quarter for 2013. The company earned $2 billion in profits, an 11 percent increase from the previous year that exactly matched analyst expectations. However, revenue totaled $8.18 billion, a 2 percent year-over-year decrease that failed to meet analyst expectations.

This will allow multiple tenants to securely coexist in the same database. Then it’s covered with virtualization, and we take a developer’s approach to security, to make sure your data is isolated and private and safe and secure.”
