SAPDB is free for the taking... you can use with OR with out support. But you can STILL use the Web-Based support for FREE...
Let's see, Oracle Multiple Processor Licensing for the Enterprise typically consisting of three 16-way machines... hmmm... $120K USD... w/o support...
SAPDB for those same 3 machines/48 processors.... 0$
Let's see... Premium support/software maintenance $45K USD - $100K USD depending on number of allowable contacts.
SAPDB Support for those same Core Competency Centers of Knowledge (what SAPDB call those contacts) $64K USD ($60K EUR)
Hmm okay... if you don't see it... you never will.
Technical problems are what I was born for... them the best ones...
