Charlie,
Would you expect a "simple" upgrade of Oracle 10i to Oracle 11, for your major enterprise application? Or, MS-SQL 2005 to MS-SQL 2008?

Actually, its "commercial" vs "FLOSS" for the database that is the distinguishing attribute determining whether upgrades are simple in the above.
Most FLOSS databases, like postgres, are harder to upgrade than "commercial" databases like Oracle.
