I'm in violent sympathy with Wanda's position.  It is not broken, why break
it!

A general purpose database will not be optimized for this environment.  I
can't imagine that an Oracle could be made to work better than what we have
today.  Can what we have today be made to work better?  Perhaps, but I doubt
that many of us on this side of the fence can say that with any certainty.

Why does anyone think we need to change databases?  Size, performance,
maintainability? What is it?  How many of us really want to administer
another db?
