Depending on how they are running their licensing, (user/processor/standard/enterprise) Oracle can actually be reasonable in the sense of a commercial database. That said, PostgreSQL training is cheap. If you have enough people in your org to justify a on-site training, a 2 day Administration + Performance + Maintenance class is only 5k (remember on-site). Over time though, there is no question that hands down PostgreSQL will save you money. You can get an Enterprise class support contract for 500.00 a month per server. Sincerely, Joshua D.
