Ellison also said hackers and cybercriminals can't break into the database 
because of its enhanced security and stability. He said he was warned not to 
call Oracle 9i unbreakable because it would attract hackers eager to break 
into Oracle databases, but despite increased attacks recently, all attempts 
have failed so far, Ellison said.

"I'm not inviting hackers, but so far, with more than 1,000 attacks a day, 
we're still running," Ellison said. "Our very first customer was the CIA. 
Our second customer was the National Security Agency."

"What we're proposing is you keep your Microsoft Outlook, we'll make it 
unbreakable," Ellison said. "And unbreakable means you can't break it and 
you can't break in."

Sounds like a challenge to me. I think you can download evaluation copies
of Oracle products at http://otn.oracle.com/software/content.html
