Yes, Oracle support sucks, and is staffed with morons. However one thing you get with Oracle support that you cannot get with third party support is bug fixes and product upgrades. If you want this without a support contract, you need to buy new licenses each time you upgrade.

Ever heard of "FUD"? That's what Oracle is selling you if

you think their support is that bad: fear of not having

support that you don't want because you think it's bad.

Q: Does anyone know of any reliable 3rd party support for

    Oracle?
