I have seen this in so many cases. Somehow Oracle convinced people of their never-ending superiority. I know in 8i and 9i days, we were very happy with its performance and feature set. That's not to say that SQL Server (or hell, even DB2 or Sybase) couldn't have given it competition. But when I hear executive types pushing Oracle these days, I have to ask, "really? REALLY?? do you even know WHY you're pushing that monstrous heap of garbage?? Does it give you something you can't get with Postgres? Oh yes... a flatter wallet. Touche.

As far as Workday, I'm intrigued that someone would chosen Adobe Flex as a platform. (we just converted last year)
