Oracle Contracting and rates

[bodnobal]

What to expect in 2007/8?

Oracle DBA with Solaris, or is Sun a dead duck (must check their share price).

Forms and Reports, surely no company is doing new stuff with that crap, so a lot of legacy stuff needs to be supported and converted, good rates for maintaining legacy Forms 3/4.5 stuff?

Too many peeps out there pretending they know Oracle to make it worthwhile competing for contracts?

Have to agree £400/day is a bit low aye.

I think the numbers are fairly accurate. Both state the minimum.

[SallyAnne]

Are you talking Oracle Apps bob? Or just Oracle?

I thought everyone who supported West Ham wore a singlet.
