With the economy in the tank and most of the successful web businesses being the old bricks and mortar stores with another means to penetrate the market, did you expect otherwise? A web presence is so passive that it is not much of an investment without the ability to do collateral advertising. Especially, something as marginal as a specialized oracle web site.

I did the research a couple of months ago for a site like this and concluded I could not make it pay off. There are some major league players who are no longer in the phone book (or on the web). I had to ask myself, with compelling data in hand, "What made me think I was smarter than they were?". Lacking a good answer I set the whole idea aside for another day.

Keep your domain name for another day. It may have value in the future but right now it is likely just another casualty in the dot bomb train wreck.
