Oracle have to change their politics. Our represants here in Germany have no arguments for this poltic. They say to me to buy a workgroup db and use this instead of the enterprise db! Is the workgroup db compatible (binary) with the enterprise db. Will our OraPerl scripts work whith the workgroup db?

What if you could gurantee that no more user access the db then your license is? What if you could gurantee that a maximum number of eight users accesses your db, why should you have a 32 user license? What if you use CORBA objects. It seems that our db factories are in big big trouble no more licenses no more fat sallaries.

Where is an official Oracle person to say a word????
