I just bought 3 STANDARD UPC server licenses for our site. We saved
275K by
not using Enterprise. Email me if you want the details. Walt is
right, they
are lying to you. (The concept of trusting salespersons for
technical
issues is inherently wrong.)

That's absolutely not true, Dennis. We've purchased Oracle Standard
Edition
for serving web pages, and no one at Oracle told us we could not.
I think you need to find some other salescritters. You're being
taken for a
ride.

Yes, but in order to put an Oracle database on the web, I HAVE TO
USE
ENTERPRISE EDITION! The salescritters say so. It has to be unlimited
users.
To repeat: I cannot (legally) put an Oracle database on an
internet-accessible web page unless it is an unlimited-user
(power-units-based) Enterprise edition version of Oracle. Let me put
it
another way: I HAVE TO USE ENTERPRISE EDITION!
Now, it may be that every salescritter I've talked to is wrong about
that,
but if so, what can I do? Reach through the phone, grab them by the
throat,
and demand answers? (Not to say I don't *want* to....)
I'm not actually comparing apples to oranges if you look at it from
my POV:
I'm comparing the lowest cost to do what I want using Oracle, to the
lowest
cost to do what I want using DB2. If Oracle demands that I use
Enterprise
Edition with unlimited users, then that's their price.
