Coca Cola Bottling Company threw out Oracle and transitioned to UDB, the artist formerly known as DB2. I've been an outspoken critic of Oracle's way of doing business for a while now. I am also engaged on a project to transition several databases from Oracle to PostgreSQL. Maybe that will force their marketing to change tactics? At the very minimum, they should give AWR report for free and make their databases cheaper. I'd hate to see Oracle following in the footsteps of DEC. They were high and mighty, too.
