I foresee the database being sold as a turn key product configured by Oracle at a 
reduced price.   In order to receive the discount the purchaser would have to agree 
not to mess with the init<SID>.ora parameters, nor take any action which would enable 
or disable any database options.  "What?!, not change init.ora parameters", you scoff. 
 Remember that Oracle 9i has some autotuning capability.  I expect, at first, 
autotuning will not work as advertised, but over time will mature into a powerful 
product.

May I ask,  just what type of restrictions do you envision when the database
software is made available at a reduced cost?
