And why is that good? Oracle is worth every penny of those $47,000 per core for an enterprise license, and then some. Provided my company makes a commercial product and I can pay, I would gladly pay Oracle that kind of money (and more) for their database. Large companies have an enterprise wide license of the Oracle database, so they have thousands of instances (worked at a place like that, that's how I know), and at that point, with that kind of scale, Oracle becomes dirt cheap, considering it delivers the only database I have seen that can withstand the kind of abuse a large institution can throw at a relational database management system.
