- Make a final decision on what to do with Oracle: ditch it, downgrade it, or deal with it.
- Investigate the myriad licensing options and features that Oracle offers, and compare it with other database options. Then tie up loose ends and decide on a database solution that is optimal for the business.
- Certain database practices are more successful than others; know which activities the happiest Oracle customers engage in.
