How would you comment on the following? This is a snippet from an e-mail I received some hours ago about a newly proposed architecture which mainly focus on Java:
---

In this, we have viewed ORACLE as just a 'BIG' MS Access or 'BIT BUCKET' with better management and processing tools. I don't believe this view has changed, and I do not foresee it changing.

I do not believe we should use Oracle's Workflow, SNMP, Telnet, Web Services, etc tools because it moves away from our core requirements from Oracle.

I feel that if we go down the route using ORACLE non-core functionality, we will painting ourselves in a corner. Our functionality will then become dependant on whether ORACLE supports it or not, and if it does, to what level does it support it. Also, will support for this feature continue now or in the future. This could be restrictive.

Comments will be appreciated.
