It looks like Salesforce is pursuing an aggressive strategy to take a significant share of the enterprise DB market away from Oracle.

This acquisition seems to be more evidence of that. I don't see it working though. For one, I don't see any significant use cases for Prior Knowledge. Is it just a database married with bayesian logic? Couldn't you derive better analytics by doing such work manually?

In any case, Oracle DB's have been developed over decades. Their products provide the reliability and accountability that salesforce will not be able to achieve in a short amount of time (which salesforce is attempting to do).
