SAN FRANCISCO--Oracle and VMware will announce on Monday a cooperative effort linking Oracle's database and VMware's software for letting a single server run several independent operating systems. Through the deal, Oracle's 10g database will work on VMware's virtual-machine software, developers will collaborate on address technology and performance issues and the companies will work on joint marketing, support and products, VMware said in a statement.
