RE: Standby db license for 8.1.6

Hi,

on the subject of licensing, has anyone used something like HPs Resource Manager on
HPUX to restrict the amount of CPU usage for Oracle on a multi-CPU system, and therefore
saved on licensing costs.

It does seems unfair if you need a large server for all your application processes
which only uses Oracle as a back-end database, that you have to pay as though Oracle
is using all the CPU power !!

FYI this is basically what I'm asking:

I've specified the server as an intel box with 2x750 Mhz cpu, running either linux or NT.
I've specified 3 scenarios in terms of number of servers and number of users, and a fourth as an internet-based database server for a web page.

I've asked for the price for each dbms *only*. This should give me an idea of the relative costs for the databases under a number of conditions. If the salescritter attempts to bob and weave, that's relevant information as well.
