<p>The relational database pioneers in attendance discussed the evolution of the industry from the late 1980s through the end of the 1990s. They covered a wide range of subjects including other companies in the relational database business, the growth of each of the companies, the problems that they ran into and how the use of relational databases migrated from decision support to transaction processing.

They described the mergers and acquisitions that took place and who is remaining standing in the marketplace. They discussed the impact of Microsoft entering the market and the impact of PCs, the Internet and the World Wide Web.
