Unconvinced

If memory serves the Deliotte consultant claimed to have undertaken an assessment of the alternatives and chose Oracle because it had more relevant features.

Perhaps I can make two points:

Firstly, 'unlimited licensing' arrangements with Oracle must be reassuringly expensive unlike PostgreSQL or MySQL that offers 'unlimited licensing' for nothing.

And secondly, if TfL had unlimited access to Oracle why did Deliotte even bother to test the suitability of PostgreSQL and MySQL as claimed?
