The topic on my blog was about platform software and deployment
options, not applications. I know how troublesome dealing with COTS
applications can be. In my view, the applications->database side is the
part that needs the tightest integration. The lower-half stuff (e.g.,
datafile storage) does not/should not need to be specialized. You can
toil with mundane topics like ASM/RAW/NAS/CFS and never get the payback
you get if you manage to get CBO to work correctly.
