Jack, there are only two possibilities: either you can migrate some of
your apps off Oracle RDBMS or you can not. If you can not, then you have
to cough up the cash. If you can, go ahead and do it. You would be
surprised to see how Oracle Corp. attitude can change if you start
migrating apps to DB2. If your apps are written in Java, using an ORM,
you shouldn't have any problems. For DW applications, I wholeheartedly
recommend SQL*Server. SQL Server is an excellent database and can easily
pull data from Oracle RDBMS. The way to make Oracle products cheaper is
not to buy them. And that's it.
