  I understand this was prob a sort of joke, but I'd be interested in a data point on how much a free db could help save. Is $12B reasonable, would it be much lower/higher?

    > I'd be interested in a data point on how much a free db could help save Database companies price their products by how much they think they can extract from your business. That's why they're mostly priced at free or some nominal cost for the first few years, and then several million dollars per year afterwards.

    Without a doubt higher. If you pore snake oil on your database it always slows it down a little

    free maybe. The real point being that it is one that works. A big part of the financial but also the entreprisey world in general have never left the 80s/90s. The idea of scale does not exist.
