tried.

Subject: Database for WebSphere5


We just upgraded to WebSphere5.  During user
acceptance testing I discovered that the WAS schema
has exactly TWO tables.  Investigating further, I
found out that these two tables are dynamic.  When
someone logs in these tables are populated and when
the user logs out the data is deleted.  

Out of the box, WAS will install a default DB2
database on the same server as the application server.
 Even though I am an Oracle bigot, it seems silly to
pay for cpu licensing for two small tables.  I am
leaning toward asking our middle-ware administrators
to use the default install and save the cpu licensing
expense for Oracle.

Does anyone have any experience with this
configuration?  Especially, hidden gotchas, like DB2
cpu licensing?
