You know a lot more about pricing. Microsoft has priced support and
upgrade rights separately for years. Do you think Oracle split the =
pricing
like this so people doing Oracle vs. SQL Server comparisons would =
understand
the issues more clearly? Personally I can't fathom why an Oracle =
customer
would not purchase both.

If you go to www.oracle.com and type in "pricing" in the search field=20 you'll find there's a new US commercial price list dated January 23,=20 2004 plus a new Software Investment Guide dated February 3, 2004.
Nothing changed regarding the prices of SE and EE and Support and=20 Upgrade Rights: If you buy software for $100, then you can purchase=20 upgrade rights for $15 and Support (including access to Metalink) for = $7.
What Oracle doesn't state clearly anywhere that I know of is the fact=20 that you don't have to buy both Support and Upgrade Rights. They're=20 separate products, so if you, say, don't want to continue to pay for=20 support of Trusted Oracle server or SQL*Menu 5.0 (real example I saw a=20 few hours ago - Danish customer), since nobody will be able to help you =
anyway, you don't have to anymore. That all changed on December 16, = 1999.
