Hewlett-Packard Co. and Oracle Corp. failed to reach a settlement during a two-day pause in a trial over claims the database maker broke a contract by discontinuing software for some Hewlett-Packard servers, a person familiar with the matter said.

The trial, which started June 4 in state court in San Jose, California, resumed today after it was put on hold for the last two days at the request of both companies, Rowena Walker, a court clerk, said in an e-mail.
