About the options you mention: Every option is only available to you if you have bought an EE license of Oracle: RAC, Spatial, Partitioning, Data Mining, OLAP, Advanced Security, Label Security, Diagnostics Pack, Tuning Pack, Change Management Pack... And here's the amounts you should add for each of these on top of the $40K per cpu license: $20K, $10K, $10K, $20K, $20K, $10K, $10K, $3K, $3K, $3K...
At the moment Microsoft's SE costs 32% or so of Oracle's SE. Their EE costs about 46% of Oracle's EE. Yes, we all know there are differences. But the finance department might not care. I think a better strategy would be to price EE as SE, then let the price of the options vary so that if you bought a bunch of them you'd end up around the current EE price.

Thank you very much. I hope this doesn't mean that future versions of Oracle Files. neé Oracle Ifs, will only be available by purchasing Oracle Collaboration Suite.There is always the possibility that this is exactly what could happen, if it hasn't already. Notice the way the main Oracle product is divided between Standard and Enterprise. There are certain features (spatial, for example) which are ONLY available if an Enterprise licence is purchased. The fact that the spatial stuff will run an a standard installation indicates (as usual) that these divisions are often marketing-led. Energetic user groups and customers can have influence in correcting these anomalies... peter edinburgh ..................

There is certainly no "iFS" option. Am I correct here or not? Can anyone point me to an Oracle document saying it is free. We are looking at collaboration tools such as SharePoint which takes a SQL Server back end. Oracle is pushing "Collaboration Suite", but I am wary >of any first release from Oracle especially in an area where their success as been non-existent. I have not seen any specifications for what is needed and iFS may be satisfactory.
