Databases have become key in enabling businesses to efficiently manage their data assets and to effectively use information to better understand their businesses. This document considers the question of what is needed for small and medium-sized businesses to successfully implement and maintain database applications, considering limitations of budget, time, and expertise. It considers such issues as ease of installation, ease of use, reliability, and manageability of relational database management systems (RDBMS). It also explores how Oracle has delivered such capabilities with Oracle Database 10g Standard Edition One.
