Walter,
First question, where are all of the astrological signs? Their needed to
understand Oracle's pricing schemes in the first place.
Now names users is exactly that. You have to be able to put an employee
name next to a database connection, as I understand it. Since it sounds like
you application will be using an application server of some sorts this is a
no-no.
The other licensing scheme is per cpu which allows unlimited connections.
Concurrent licenses have become extinct. But then there is always the
'ideas' your sales rep is likely to come up with.

Hi,
Can someone explain how the named-user licensing
works? Also, has concurrent usage licensing gone away?
We have a need for an additional database to use for
mapping/geo-coding purposes. The primary application
will periodically perform a query against this new
database to "look up" some mapping info. Essentially,
the application will always maintain a handful of
sessions to the mapping database. It may perform the
lookup as often as 10 times an hour. The new database
will essentially be read-only.
The docs say NOT to allow the sharing of usernames for
multiple concurrent users. Although the application
may be hosting several users, no more than a handful
would ever need to get data from the mapping database
thus the idea of going cheap by buying say 5-10 named
user licenses.
It seems that for a few $K that I could accomplish
what I want with the database using named-user
licensing rather than dropping $14K for a single-CPU
license (2yr). We may also want to go with a dual-cpu
box which would mean another $14k!
Am I treading a thin line here? I hope this makes
sense.
As always, your feedback is appreciated!
