REDWOOD SHORES, Calif. -- Hoping to reassure skittish customers, Oracle Corp. is guaranteeing to install a complex piece of online business software in 90 days or the company will give the product away.

The Redwood Shores-based software company will introduce the new promise Tuesday under a new marketing campaign called "The War on the Complexity," CEO Larry Ellison said Monday during a 90-minute meeting with reporters.

The pledge amplifies on Oracle's efforts to build upon its leadership in database software to sell more products that help companies automate a wide range of sales and administrative chores.

It also represents the latest in a long history of marketing gimmicks for Oracle, which is trying to dominate Internet software like archrival Microsoft Corp. does personal computer software.
