Unfortunately, while I like oracle from a performance perspective, they've
priced most small to medium sized companies out of their product. I was
quoted $50k per cpu to use oracle on a Solaris system for a client's
e-commerce site. When I stopped laughing, I called up Sybase and got a
substantially more reasonable quote and ended up purchasing licenses for
both Solaris and Linux.
You should start trading oracle license futures. You're guaranteed at least
a 20%/year return... 8-(
Eventually, some clever firm is going to release a quality database system
for linux with enterprise-level scalability/quality at a reasonable price.
That will put the screws to folks like Oracle.
