I fortunately don't have to worry about DBMS ops these days, but I remember so very fondly the day we decommissioned the last Oracle database (11i) I did have to worry about. The salesthing said something like "I'm sure we'll do business again some day" (after months of aggressive, coordinated effort to discredit anyone in favor of ditching Oracle). I told him if I was on the bottom of the ocean and he was selling oxygen, I'd take my chances breathing water.
