I don't mean this as a flame but.. I am really worried about dancing with the devil (oracle). Also my rectum is sacred and is a one-way street. Last thing I want is to end up shelling out thousands because of some new Oracle "tactic." It appears that you can't get any objective decission making opinions from this brain-washed Oracle crowd. It feels like you are not preaching to the choir here but preaching to the alter-boys who like to take it in rear (oracle-DBAs). Come on people, get objective about spending your company's or tax-payer's money.

I am really considering PostGreSQL. It is mature, stable and has many enterprise features including replication. Besides, not having any string attached leaves you calm. It is heavily used in mission critical implementations. The .ORG name service run on PostGreSQL.

Thanks
