Of course, these are just opinions and not hard facts. But, of course, your managers are using opinions as well.

Well, our managers are certainly using opinions.

VFP = Low opinion
Oracle = High opinion
Their knowledge of hard facts = absolute zero

And it P***es me off!

Thanks for that figure, it turns out that the customer is not prepared to pay that amount so SQL-Server is certainly more attractive.
