I agree with Daniel, I would much rather see the db stay free and a collaborative environment of DBAs/"do-it-yourself'ers" evolve and let those that have the money to pay for premium support shell out their cash if they don't want to bother with the details that DBAs are payed well (well most anyways..but not me) to deal with.
I am in the process of converting my company to 100% SAPDB, Java and Linux from M$ products so ... Stay the course and long live open, high-quality software.

No, for two reasons: - the support structure of SAP isn't geared toward anything but 7x24 support - it is prized somewhat prohibitively because we hope that a market for SAP DB DBAs will develop. But this won't happen if we undercut the prices. > formal support, the Premium may look a bit expensive, > considering that SAPDB > is free. We *could* charge you for SAP DB, if that would make the support fee more appropriate ;-) Daniel Dittmar -- Daniel Dittmar SAP DB, SAP Labs Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sapdb.org/ _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
