Well of course. I don't doubt that Oracle is aware of their developers' existence and gives them some form of support. But how much of Oracle's time and money goes to developer support compared to companies like Microsoft? Much as I dislike Microsoft, I have to give them credit for engaging their developer community.

I'm not sure how to answer that. How do you know how much of Microsoft's time and money goes to developer support? How do you know that Oracle does any less? I don't have any real hard numbers.

Microsoft MSDN for developer support and Oracle has OTN. Both companies have developer oriented conferences in addition to business conferences. Both companies employ evangalists that work with startups to help them adopt their technologies. Where do you see the difference?
