That ain't quite correct. I think if you want to do anything beyond limited
SQL, you'll end up needing the $20K/cpu Enterprise Edition of SQL, which is
comparable to Oracle.
Either way, I think $20K/cpu is a miserable ripoff. In our instance, I have
a quad-processor SQL box, but the processors are 200mhz. Why should I pay
$80K for a license when a single-CPU 1ghz box would perform so much better,
and cost only $20K in licensing?
Moral? Per-CPU licensing is flawed.
