Hi Howard,

I think when talking about training and the related costings and if it's "For the record", it's important to be accurate. As I've said in the past, generally speaking Oracle training is excellent but the pricing structure in my teeny weeny opinion is simply set too high.

Straight out of the Australian Oracle University website, the costs for these courses including GST are in fact (in AU$):

• Introduction to Oracle9i: SQL $3,234.00 ($646.80 / day)
• Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals I $3,234.00 ($646.80 / day)
• Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals II $4,042.50 ($808.50 / day)
• Oracle 9i Performance Tuning $4,042.50 ($808.50 / day)

Or to put it in slightly different terms, approximately the cost of a family of four travelling from Australia to DisneyWorld in Florida, US for 2 weeks all expenses paid.
