Re: oracle v SS

I didn't see this recent MS announcement of free "passive" licensing for HA/DR in this thread:

https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2019/10/30/new-high-availability-and-disaster-recovery-benefits-for-sql-server/

That seems...huge. Oracle has had some great announcements recently, like with the PDB extension and Free Autonomous offering, but nothing to this scale.
