Oracle Corp has hired former Hewlett-Packard Co CEO Mark Hurd to help lead the database software maker in a pivotal moment in Oracle8217;s 33-year history as it tries to muscle in on more of HP8217;s turf.

Hurd8217;s appointment Monday as co-president of Oracle comes a month after he resigned from HP following a sexual harassment investigation.

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison loudly came to Hurd8217;s defense at the time,calling HP8217;s decision to oust Hurd the worst personnel decision since Apple Inc forced out Steve Jobs another of Ellison8217;s friends 25 years ago.

Oracle and HP are longtime partners,working together for 25 years to make sure their products are in sync. But Hurd8217;s new job underscores the growing fissure between the Silicon Valley heavyweights.
