You've never had to deal with Oracle sales or "support" staff or -- even worse -- manage or support Oracle products in production, have you? If you had, well, you would already know the answer. Oracle RDBMS might be the one exception. (FWIW, I mean "real" Oracle products, not, say, MySQL or Oracle Linux, for example.)
