I didn't see this recent MS announcement of free "passive" licensing for
HA/DR in this thread:
https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2019/10/30/new-high-availability-and-disaster-recovery-benefits-for-sql-server/
That seems...huge. Oracle has had some great announcements recently,
like with the PDB extension and Free Autonomous offering, but nothing to
this scale.

BETREFF: Re: oracle v SS
Certainly not free, same with plsql mentioned earlier, all these use the
"licensed" cpu power which costs you about 100K EUR/$ per processor
definition (counting common enterprise options) initial license and 1/4 of
that each year thereafter.
