Software is only one strand of a GIS, and not necessarily the most
important part. A GIS conventionally requires software, personnel and
data - the software could be simply a DBMS. It it the people and the
data that make it a Geographic Information System. And with the
software it is horses for courses!
Some years ago a colleague of mine started to implement a link-node
topology based system entirely within Oracle (about version 5 - pre
Oracle Spatial anyway!). I think he got quite a long way!
