RE: Oracle Licensing Scheme

George - To clarify your other question, one reason Oracle developed CPU pricing was for Internet access. This way you don't need to worry about how many people on the planet will be accessing your database. Dennis Williams

George:

I'm not a sales guy, so I would definitely talk to Oracle for the most current
pricing/configuration info (as well as discounts).

However, as of the 10/19/2001 price list, the costs are $15K/CPU for Standard
Edition and $40K/CPU for Enterprise Edition. The named user licenses for the
same are $300 and $800 respectively. At least that's according to the information that I have.

Don't forget that their are optional componenets such as RAC, Partitioning, Advanced Security, etc.
