I went through similar at my last company. For years we were forced to use "popular" enterprise software (Oracle) ONLY because of the name. Our company loved to shmooze customers by saying that our application was highly-scalable, fault tolerant, robust, etc. because we used Oracle. In reality NONE of this was true because the company was too clueless (and cheap) to actually use any of the Oracle services (like Oracle Parallel Server) that allow those enterprise features. In reality we weren't doing anything with Oracle that we couldn't have done with HSQL. And what really burns me is having to put up with all the Oracle install, configuration, nightmare for no reason. I agree with Dion, let the people actually doing the work do their work and get out of their way! CP I offer my sincerest condolences my fellow engineers. I went through similar at my last company.
