  stupid thing to do by Oracle, considering the fact that many Oracle purchasing   decisions are made by Oracle DBAs. To shut us out like that will most   certainly have an effect on Oracle Sales. Hell, you don't need me anymore?   I'll switch political sides and jump the ship to IBM, or <gasp>   Microsoft...

  Far
  as their "superior" i-dba team, I sure hope those are different people from   the ones you get on first line of Support...

  My boss just received a cold call from Oracle that   he let me listen in on.  They have a new push on for their i-dba support   package.  For just a little more money (they did not define little), "we   will replace your dba's with our superior support team that will monitor your   database 24x7 and proactively eliminate problems.  This will allow you to   redesign you office to offload these cumbersome DBA tasks and allow your   workers to do other things.  You will never have another database   problem."   I felt good when my boss indicated that we had no base   problems but based on this, I guess we will have to become sqlserver DBAs or
<gasp>  developers...    :)

  Ahh, Friday, wonderful Friday,  it seems like   you've been away all week...
