Bob,

discounts will vary widely. Want a hint? The best time to buy Oracle products is in the month of May. Their fiscal year runs from June 1 until May 31. Every may, they're scrambling to reach a new sales record, and the way they do it is to offer big discounts the closer they get to the May 31 date.
