While that may have been true in the past. And is certainly a common myth today. It is not reality today as you found out.

The truth, as I understand it, is that Oracle salespeople have been told to NEVER lose a deal based on price. If a buyer pays more for Oracle then the fault is entirely theirs.

But wouldn't a more accurate comparison of IDS to Oracle be with Oracle's Standard Edition?
