Is it because of the rise in global inflation rate and oil prices... :-(

Oracle Raising its prices

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/20/oracle_license_increase/

I hadn't seen someone post this to the list yet - the database's list prices are going up by 18% ($47,500 list for an EE CPU now).  What do we think? Reasonable? Madness? "Who cares, we'll just make them discount it more"?

Thanks,

Matt
