I had been led to believe that Oracle was damned expensive, more so than any
competitor system.

What is the cost for WAS/Express?

Complex? Well, you have a possible argument on that one.

Over time, your company's critical data and business process have

become >locked into the proprietary, low-level structures of the DB2/400
database.

Proprietary? You can get into a *&^%$# contest on this subject
matter but I'd argue that Oracle is the most proprietary DB alive.
