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?
