Getting back to the original point; I anticipate this all to have no
impact on per core Oracle licensing costs.
I beg to differ. Competition lowers prices. And SQL Server is a
formidable competitor. It's as simple as that. SQL Server is much
cheaper than Oracle, the price of DBA personnel is much lower,
monitoring tools are integrated with the database, no special prices for
partitioning or the right to create multiple databases, plus a lot of
available applications. Logic tells me to expect a price drop. Let's
wait and see. At this point is all just a guess from both you and me.
However, SQL Server pushed Oracle out of the Windows market, Microsoft
holds 46% of all installed databases in Windows market. If that trend
continues on Linux and Unix, Oracle will have a fight on its hands. Here
