Oracle Standard Edition is available on machines or clusters supporting
up to 4 CPUs, at $15,000 per CPU (unlimited users), or $300 per user
(minimum 5 users). This includes RAC at no extra cost.
There is a cheaper edition as well, Standard Edition One, available on machines supporting up to 2 CPUs, at $4995 per CPU (unlimited users), or $149 per user (minimum 5 users). This does not include RAC, and indeed, RAC is not available with this edition. Received on Tue Jun 29 2004 - 22:20:51 CDT
