Re: Do you HAVE to use Oracle?
@Stevie that was my point. The reasons for keeping it are the legacy of it. It is too difficult to switch it when your applications, staff and mindset are all aligned to it. Hence while the fees are not crippling there is no point changing it as there are probably going to be other priorities.
I wouldn't want to take on a task of swapping out a live large db which needed to retain all the historical data and reporting unless it was completely necessary.
