Hi,

on the subject of licensing, has anyone used something like HPs Resource
Manager on
HPUX to restrict the amount of CPU usage for Oracle on a multi-CPU system,
and therefore
saved on licensing costs.

It does seems unfair if you need a large server for all your application
processes
which only uses Oracle as a back-end database, that you have to pay as
though Oracle
is using all the CPU power !!

FYI this is basically what I'm asking:

I've specified the server as an intel box with 2x750 Mhz cpu, running
either linux or NT.
I've specified 3 scenarios in terms of number of servers and number of
users, and a fourth as an internet-based database server for a web page.

I've asked for the price for each dbms *only*. This should give me an idea
of the relative costs for the databases under a number of conditions. If
the salescritter attempts to bob and weave, that's relevant information as
well.
