and how about Oracle saying something like ...
"And in return to you making excess payment to meet our unrealistic demands, we will deliver bug-free software ..."

Subject: RE: Important - Oracle Pricing on Standby/DR/Failover databases
Jared,
why doesn't it seem right?
in the case where we are running a standby database, are we not using the
software? sure, the users are not directly connected. but every
transaction that they enter in the primary database is being posted to the
standby. if we were not required to pay for this standy-by database, how
would Oracle get paid for all the development time they put in to offer such
a service?
seems reasonable to me.
as for the failover requirment (10 day limit), Oracle is wrong in this one -
the database is always running on one server only. and they (Oracle) have
done nothing to offer a better service that has not been already paid for.

Thanks Tony.
Looks like Larry E is trying to boost revenues in a down
economy by any means necessary.
You're right, this doesn't seem right.
