Just to clarify:
I meant that in two or three years you are working in another company and a
new body is doing the dba work. When the time comes to move the database to
another server he will just install oracle, copy the database files and
tnsnames to the new server and will be sure that it will work. When he will
start to get errors he will spend time trying to find why the same database
with the same tnsnames that worked on the other server fails now.
