Re: RE: stdby and Oracle licensing

Agreed.

Getting licensing information out of Oracle is
almost like pulling teeth.

Getting *accurate* licensing information is *much*
harder.

It has been my experience that I need to ask the 
same question *at least* 5 times before getting a
credible answer, and even then, I usually have to
fall back to reading the OLSA (or one of its 
annexes) to decide whether an answer is actually
correct.

Hmmm...  I wonder.  Does Oracle Corp. provide
consulting services to the IRS or Canada Revenue
Agency?   Or maybe could it be the other way around? 
;-)
