Hi
Oracle support send me an anual fee with
- Product Support

I cannnot understand the coverage of the 2k $ anual software update
fee : is it only for patches or can I upgrade to 10 g with this
contract ?
Do you think I should suscribe ? what for ?

Well - at least it gives you the right to contact Oracle
and ask them all these questions personally :)

Basically -and it changes per country- it gives you the
right to:
- download patches (metalink.oracl e.com)
- ask questions to Oracle support (by phone, or via iTar:
metalink.oracle .com)
- upgrade versions (not sure you need support for that)
