RE: Oracle Raising its prices

Yeh the shipping costs of moving those big heavy licenses on flatbed trucks have gone up with the price of petrol.

Is it because of the rise in global inflation rate and oil prices... :-(

I hadn't seen someone post this to the list yet - the database's list prices are going up by 18% ($47,500 list for an EE CPU now). What do we think? Reasonable? Madness? "Who cares, we'll just make them discount it more"?

Thanks,
Matt
