Nick,
As a start you might want to go to http://oraclestore.com
There you will see list prices in US dollars for the various options,
including
DB versions - Enterprise, std, lite, personal
Licensing options - named user (single or multi server), or universal power
unit
(Note that concurrent licences are not sold any more).
You can also buy perpetual or timed licenses.
Check http://technet.oracle.com/products/oracle8i/pdf/8i_fam.pdf for a
document that describes what is in each version and you can see that (for
example) OPS and partitioning are extra cost options.
Automated standby is only in the Enterprise Edition.
Please let us know what other relevant points you find out.
Regards,
Bruce Reardon

Dear Esteemed List,
Though I am very familiar with the technical aspects of Oracle, I don't know
much about Oracle licensing. I have recently been asked by one of our staff
to get more information on licensing. I would be very grateful for any
information relating to this.
Also, is licensing based on the number of OS's or is it only on processers
used/speed etc. What happens if you are running a passive/standby database,
or a OS clustering solution.
Thanks.
Regards,
Nick Mundi
