908.0. "Oracle gets sued... AGAIN" by CIMNET::BOURDEAU (Rich Bourdeau CIM Product Marketing) Wed Apr 10 1991 21:43

    From the April 8th issue of Computerworld (Front Page)
    
    Firestone, Oracle Trade contract suits
    Tire maker charges missed deliveries scuttled national online system
    
    Firestone is seeking 40 million in damages for fraud and negligent
    misrepresentation, arguing that Oracle knew its products would not fit
    the Mastercare projects's timetable or requirements...
    
    In addition, Firestone complained that Oracle never delivered
    DB2-connect software designed to access Firestone's DB2 database from
    SQL*Formes applications.
    
    Oracle defense was to blame the system integrator for the problems 
    at Firestone.  Saying that they did not know how to use the Oracle
    software or work with Oracle's technicians.
    
    The article does not mention what hardware Firestone's system was
    designed for.
    
    The same issue of computerworld also has a nice article about a large
    HMO application that uses Rdb (p29).  A very positive article !0
