Re: Pricing Increases

Andrey,

Excellent approach.

The idea that ROI of good DBA raises each time Oracle increases license fees is great.

Hi,

on an optimistic (and rather joking one as well) note:

I always thought, that there are some smart guys in Oracle Corp. who
take care
of securing DBA and technical consultant's jobs (especially during
recessions and alike).

Just think of it - the relative expenses for keeping the good DBA (who
can carry out his
duties without those "automated &| GUI tools") is now lowered by 40%!

Well, that is a new move. Previously their strategy was just in
keeping/introducing
enough bugs and other rabbush. Of course the money argument is stronger :-)
