[DUG] FYI Oracle make free entry level 4Gb user database available

[Phil Scadden]

Oracle might need a DBA, but a DBA can do magic in distributing index and
data across spindles etc that you cant do with firebird. Join depth seems more of an issue with FB than with oracle. And then of course there are the 
extensions that only work with Oracle/SqlServer (eg SDE).
