Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Oracle vs DB2
That's absolutely not true, Dennis. We've purchased Oracle Standard Edition for serving web pages, and no one at Oracle told us we could not.
I think you need to find some other salescritters. You're being taken for a ride.

Yes, but in order to put an Oracle database on the web, I HAVE TO USE ENTERPRISE EDITION! The salescritters say so. It has to be unlimited users. To repeat: I cannot (legally) put an Oracle database on an internet-accessible web page unless it is an unlimited-user (power-units-based) Enterprise edition version of Oracle. Let me put it another way: I HAVE TO USE ENTERPRISE EDITION!
Now, it may be that every salescritter I've talked to is wrong about that, but if so, what can I do? Reach through the phone, grab them by the throat, and demand answers? (Not to say I don't *want* to....)
I'm not actually comparing apples to oranges if you look at it from my POV: I'm comparing the lowest cost to do what I want using Oracle, to the lowest cost to do what I want using DB2. If Oracle demands that I use Enterprise Edition with unlimited users, then that's their price.
