Re: Standard vs Enterprise Edition

Kevin,

I know that you run on NT. So do I. Big deal. You can still run on 4 CPUs, with a 5 named user license, provided you're running Std Ed.
If those are 4 x 1 GHx - that's a $400,000.00 license. For $1500. 5 named users is all it takes.
Ain't life grand? You know, you can do alot of coding for $200,000.00. Lots.
Unless the database relies upon parallel query option, advanced replication, managed standby or bitmap indicies, I'd say - go with the pricing of standard edition, and use a beter architect.

Throw some money at I/O - instead of licen$e.

interMedia and iFS are included with 8.1.7 Standard Edition.

of course, if you have MEGA batch jobs to run that would take advantage of PQO ... it depends ...
