lemme add something to it...their RDBMS (8i) costs 600 pesos per MHz per
CPU.
thing is, all additional software u wanna run (Developer/Forms Server, OAS)
are also
counted against the CPU power of the database server machine ur running dem
against.
the way i understood it...u can have as many users as your compute power and
network
infrastructure can handle...and it is here(compute power) that Oracle
charges a lot.
personally, i liked the per/user basis since it enables me to have as many
Oracle
servers as i want as long as i have the registered number of users as a
whole.
vince.

You got that right!! it's now per-CPU.

Any sufficiently perverted technology is indistinguishable from Perl.
