Maybe ... 2. Of course, like others DBMS, but how many people knows how it's configure? Are you configure ORACLE DBMS? 1000+ strange parameters and don't tell me that they are well document. The same with Oracle Apps. 3. Are you kidding? Are you work with Oracle AS, ifs, cmsdk etc? I've never seen so "good", "fast" and "scalable" software. 4. Software "AS IS" - no comment. 5. ? Lets look: with Oracle: App = Oracle licences + yours work = X (and pay for everything - help, support etc.), with PostgreSQL: App = 0 for licences + work = Y, if X=Y who has more profits? 6. Agree :-((( Oracle marketing is realy the best. 7. ? 8. As I say in 5. - pay for everything - if you are money everybady helps you (even I, and if you pay 1.000.000 $ I say Oracle is the best, like other Oracle experts). Regards, Blazej
