Industry Discussion
Zoho CloudSQL
http://venturebeat.com/2008/12/02/grab-data-from-zohos-software-with-zoho-cloudsql/
From the Zoho blog, http://venturebeat.com/2008/12/02/grab-data-from-zohos-software-with-zoho-cloudsql/

There are in particular 3 things that stand out about Zoho CloudSQL:
    1. It’s the first technology that allows customers to interact with their data on the cloud, from another cloud application or from an on-premises one through real SQL.
    2. It supports multiple SQL dialects. We support all the major (and even some not so major) ones: ANSI, Oracle, SQL Server, IBM DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Informix.
    3. With our JDBC/ODBC drivers, developers can access data in the cloud just as easily as if it were stored in a local database.
Discussion: Is this significant enough to drive more business to the cloud?
