A smart move by Oracle.
Times Ten is a relational database that works best when everything is in memory. It goes like a bat out of hell. With 64-bit server processors now ubiquitous, and memory prices (and densities) allowing for multi-gigabyte real memory sizes, the Times Ten approach makes sense in an increasing number of applications.
I expect Oracle to rework the Times Ten code into its core products to support faster online transaction processing for real-time operational support systems (i.e., supply chain) and for use in business intelligence/analytics (e.g., datamarts).
