I hope this trip’s altercations don’t shun you away from returning to NOLA, in the future. I personally felt the weather was great for this time of year, matter of fact soon after you guys left the weather got even more humid and hot. I think you enjoyed some of the best weather in New Orleans, during June! I also enjoyed your presentations, you’re a great speaker! Regards, Michael H. Hi John,

Something with mixed licensing model like Berkley DB would be a perfect candidate for port, if Oracle ever thinks about it. Being a realist, I understand that this is not likely to happen. I love Oracle DB (and use it a lot in my "day job"), but it does have quite a large admin overhead for a simple non-commercial website...

I am not aware of any current or future plans to charge licensing fees for APEX. The majority of our development tools are no-cost options or free, many of which run on the Windows platform. Oracle Application Express requires only a Web browser and as such is not installed anywhere other than the database, which can be installed on a very wide variety of operating systems (including Microsoft). Oracle certainly does understand the potential of APEX as seen by our decision to embed APEX within the seed 11g Database. We plan to incorporate the latest version possible of APEX into 11gR2.
