Well that is very true but I feel its within my contract to kill them all off. Only a few left to go. Isn't that why they pay me the big bucks?

Kimberly,

    I'd whole heartedly agree with you, except that there are a lot of Pointy
Haired ones (Dilburt style managers) out here who do look at that one item first.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

I find a lot of the discussions about Oracle's pricing be too much when not taking into account anything else way to funny. First off, yes I could get SQL Server for a whole lot less then Oracle but I sure would not be able to run the fab on it. You simply can't compare one thing to another thing and say they do the same thing. Now I would do a small application that is not critical in SQL Server if there was no Oracle in house already. As for DB2, it has a few issues where if you try and do certain things you really do end up very close to an Oracle price.
