You can open a standby database in read-only mode
now. How are you going to prove that you are not
using it. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with
Oracle licensing but the argument is off.

Yup, they want you to pay for it, because it is an additional x number of
processors. They don't care that it's not really "on" or being accessed.
At filefrenzy, this policy actually led us to turn off a few of our
processors. ;-)

If we put together a standby db (SUN 4500) is Oracle going to want more
license money?
Our thinking is, the license(s) we already own on the production server
(also a 4500) cover us to keep the standby db going. We will not use the
stand-by server for anything else. There will be no user access at all.
Our (hungry?) Oracle rep is telling us that this is a clear case of
"multiply by existing license(s) by 2", doubling our license costs. (Let's
ignore all of the issues of power unit, named users, etc. for this
conversation.)
What has your experience been on this license issue for a standby db?
Thx
