This sounds like Oracle is pricing/licensing itself out of the market.
This is not good because I see a lot of new student with MS SQL skills
and no Oracle skills. Guess what, they will want to work with MS SQL
when they finally start working. Some of these grads will become
bosses one day and they will prefer what they know.

When will these people learn? IBM priced OS/2 out of the market. Sun
priced Solaris out of the Intel market (until recently, but it's too
late).

Oracle is going soon if they continue to do this.
