Lawrence J. Ellison on Thursday announced his retirement as chief
executive of Oracle, a company he founded in 1977 that has transformed
the way businesses use technology and made him one of the world’s
richest people.

His departure, effective immediately, is one of the last exits of the
tech industry’s first generation of celebrity executives, who took
computers from the back offices of a few big institutions and into
everyday life.

Mr. Ellison will become executive chairman and will continue to work on
Oracle’s technology as its chief technology officer, the company said in
a statement.

##

The current chairman, Jeffrey O. Henley, will become vice chairman. The
chief executive job will be shared by Mark V. Hurd, now co-president,
and Safra A. Catz, co-president and chief financial officer.

Anyone know whether this would make a difference to the odds of RDB and
Oracle support fotr VMS and in particular, port to the 8086 version of VMS ?
