Frankly I thought DB2 would be cheaper than that in the Express
edition. Oh well.
DB2 Express Edition is only $5,425/core. It could be worse. Quoting Timothy
Prickett Morgan:
"By comparison, Oracle charges $47,500 per core for its 11g Enterprise Edition
database plus $10,450 per core for support at list price. Microsoft charges
$27,495 per processor socket regardless of the number of cores in the Xeon or
Itanium processor for its SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition database, plus
$6,874 per year for Software Assurance tech support. SQL Server Datacenter
Edition, which is a special highly scalable version of the database aimed at
data warehousing, costs twice that per socket."

Maybe it's all in the marketing. Programmers wouldn't approve. Or is there
hidden value in the architecture?
