We usually use SQL Server and now we need to buy Oracle Database for our new project, which became confusing when we see the price list, can someone suggest me how to count the price?
We need it for Government use (not in US btw) Here a price list reference http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/pricelists.html Thanks

Assuming that you need CPU licensing for a customer facing app, you are looking at $47,500 per CPU. If you have a multi-core CPU then you'll be paying 75% per core. If you need to OLAP engine, that'll be another charge, if you want table partitioning that'll be another charge. Compression will be another charge, advanced security will be another charge. Some basic info about the differences can be found on this edition chart which should answer most of your questions. Keep in mind that governments usually pay a different price than companies, so you'll want to call Oracle and get the government pricing. | |||

As medenny said, the licensing guide list all the features that are available only for EE, and specify which are extra cost options: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/editions.htm The next chapters describes each option: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/license.111/b28287/options.htm You can license Oracle products by CPU or by Named Users. At the end of the pricelist there is a definition of each. As for counting the number of license CPUs required, the price list refers to this doc: http://www.oracle.com/corporate/contracts/library/processor-core-factor-table.pdf It is typically 0.5 for Intel/ADM, and 0.75 for Unix processors, but consult the list for details. Also,it is best to contact your Oracle Sales Rep for details. | |||||||

Oracle public pricing is BS. No one pays that much and most people get packages. Oracle posts that they charge this much so everyone things they get a deal. Call them. Tell them you are using SQL Server and are considering Oracle and want a deal. shoot for like $5,000 box or less(irregardless of CPUs). tell them you want a bundle with everything and development thrown in for free. seriously. they make deals if you know how to bargain AND say you have SQL Server. remember to also factor in the cost of oracle support. you can't get patches and upgrades without support. you have ABSOLUTELY have to have support. Support is usually 18-22% of the cost of your license/year. if you can't afford support, do NOT use oracle. | |||

How oracle can audit our environment to know how many users we have and what select request they use? | |||
