Oracle licensing,,,,again

2001-08-30 Thread Farnsworth, Dave

I understand about how concurrent and named user licensing works for the
most part.  What I don't understand is when you have a web application that
gets people from all over coming into our site and then routed through MTS
to be sent to the Oracle database for info.  How does the web stuff count
against the license?  If anyone understands this or can point me to a good
doc I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Dave

In these cases, Oracle tends to charge by the power of
your server multiplied by the tensile strength of your
shoelace divided by the number of sheep in an
arbitrary pasture plus the total number of hair
folicles on your head then doubled.

Seriously, I've always had best success (in Oz and UK)
by getting an Oracle guy in to your site and trying to
nut out a reasonable deal. In our case, we had peak
2000 users concurrent, average 300 during the month,
so we came to an arrangement on somewhere about 500
