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. Drake
