Interestingly enough while it is a "chargeable option" I am currently consulting for a division of a very very large aerospace firm, and I am aware of a very very large internet retailer, that do not pay a premium for partitioning. I can partition every database in the entire corporation and not one additional cent goes to Larry.

Once again ... it all comes down to negotiations. I am beginning to think that too many geeks need to take some bonehead business classes.
