Yes that is the truth of the matter.  Oracle adds in most of the stuff
you really need to make things work, while the others have them as
add-ons that you need to purchase separately.  So Oracle lets you have
sticker shock up front while the others are constantly asking for
smaller amounts all the time.  Works out that one is as expensive as the
other in the end.

Hi Richard

I am not a english gentleman can you explain what this means for a non
britisher

"His basic point was that although IBM &
Microslop nickel & dime you into submission, Oracle just hit you over
the head with a baseball bat from the get go"


Do you imply that the initial cost of IBM and Microsoft DB sounds
attractive and Oracle expensive ?
