I disagree. However well designed, the database system cannot run without some human interaction. People are required to provide technical support, implement new features and do all the regular maintenance you would expect for any operational system. That does not come for free.
It is almost free as a computer will not care in the least if there are a few hundred more or less entries to churn through. The cost comes from maintaining the whole system in the first place.
