And NEVER settle for the quoted price. Buying Oracle licenses is like dealing with a very good used car salesman. And if you do not have a half-way descent negotiator on your side - they will eat your lunch - or at least take your lunch money :)
The other analogy is like asking the person sitting next to you on the plane how much they paid... your answers will differ and sometimes drastically. Received on Mon Mar 10 2008 - 23:12:18 CDT
