I've heard this story time and time again. At my "old" place, "management" was wanting to go with MSFT (mgt. - a group with 12" pockets and 6" hands). Fortunately, we didn't (It may be due to my jumping on the conference table and shouting NO, NO, NO, may have helped). ORCL is still damn expensive, but if you are making the move to RDB, it's still the best bet in town. Myself, I still prefer the old flat based files that are much easier to recover (with shadowing, and timely backup). Faster access, less disk space, and every one understands them. Thank the good lord I'm retired! Take Care!
