Richard - How do you think the Oracle Education division would react to this
proposal? ;-)
Never underestimate the power of corporate politics. But seriously a large organization succeeds to the extent that it can look at the long-term good of the organization. Overall I think Oracle Corp. has a pretty good track record in this respect, and that has contributed to its excellent growth. Who knows, maybe Oracle will consider your idea. It seems that Microsoft has a different business model for education. I don't think Microsoft teaches any classes directly, but just certifies training organizations and instructors.

I totally agree. I alway thought Oracle should just give it away to class rooms. The more people knows Oracle, they will want to use it at their work. At a small, mid size company is often the tech guy who will have a big saying over what technology to use.

This sounds like Oracle is pricing/licensing itself out of the market. This is not good because I see a lot of new student with MS SQL skills and no Oracle skills. Guess what, they will want to work with MS SQL when they finally start working. Some of these grads will become bosses one day and they will prefer what they know.
When will these people learn? IBM priced OS/2 out of the market. Sun priced Solaris out of the Intel market (until recently, but it's too late).
Oracle is going soon if they continue to do this.
