Thanks Obbie, I was confused by Daniel's smartarse response especially since I have been known to defend him as he has been quite helpful when I have posted for help in the Oracle forums. Here I was merely using my admittedly limited knowledge about oracle to offer oracle's own words from their website regarding their recent numbers..... which clearly said 9%. Daniel offered up a yahoo website for his numbers. I did not attempt to interpret Oracle's numbers for my own purposes, they are Oracle's number. What $1 and $2 have to do with 9% I don't know..... because surely Oracle charges far more than a buck or two for their licenses.
