Yep. Based on your statement, I checked with the critter. He says yes, you can do it with Standard version. Which costs (ballpark) $33K Cdn for the unlimited user version, vs $6K for DB2. Closer. Close enough that if you already had a large investment in Oracle, you'd probably grit your teeth and pay it.

The remaining issue as far as I'm concerned is the fact of having to pay Oracle more $$ if I replace my server at any time, even if only with one with a faster cpu.
