Re: pricing question

the pricing for the oracle database server license depends on:

1) the edition (standard or enterprise),
2) number of named users
3) total cpu MHz (i.e "power units")

the pertinent info is available from
http://oraclestore.oracle.com/
(the site behaves just fine in my browser, internet exploder 5)

if reliability is a key issue, i'd recommend that you take a look
at some options other than Windows NT. for example, you may want to take a look at HP's "high availibility" solution offerings.

i had some experience with replication (on oracle 7.1 and 7.2), enough to know that i would not rely on replication as part of a "high availability" solution.
