Good point

That is a good point, and one I'll certainly follow up if I get to return to this story.

The impression given was that Oracle included pre-built features, that would have taken time and money to develop and support in other databases.

Whether that is true, and whether the time and money would actually have been greater than the Oracle fees, is part of the usual grey areas in these sort of projects.

I suspect it was more to do with TfL and Deloitte's comfort zones - and also with Deloitte's Oracle relationship - and also the necessity for Deloitte to put together a scheme that makes money for them, and which TfL is prepared to buy into.
