doubt that Oracle lowered the price on it's RDBMS for mid to small
sized shops simply because of SQL*Server. Face it an open source system
of PostGreSQL or MySql is cheaper than SQL*Server. No Oracle's Platinum
price is too expensive for a lot of people, which is why they cut the
price tag. Problem is that they didn't cut it enough.

There appear to be some very large OLTPs running sql server. Someone
posted a link to a list of the largest databases in the world and
several of them run on SQL Server. I have not used it, but I have been
told it improved alot in the last two years.
This might explain why oracle is lowering the prices for small to
mid-level shops that threaten to go to sql server...=20
