This is what I told him. You don't have to pay for Oracle unless you are in production. Which is fine. Just pointed him at the downloads and he's now messing around with it.

Which other question? The one about being a VAR? Does Oracle have this concept? I know, for example, that Interbase from Borland will give you substantial reductions on licence fees if you buy licences in bulk. Same with Oracle?

Or was it the question of farming out the programming somewhere else?
