I believe they are only selling 9i now and you opt to use 8i from what I am seeing.

What sucks is my 550MHzx4 Xeon NT development license went from $90,000 to $160,000 with this new cheaper license scheme. Yeah bs.

Has anyone else discovered this?? After poking around, I am also finding $300 on store.oracle.com

Oracle8i Standard Edition used to be $160 per user for a perpetual license. Oracle9i Standard Edition is $300 per user for a perpetual license. I just got a quote from my software vendor and he wants to charge me $270 per user for an Oracle8i v8.1.7 on HPUX. I can't seem to find the Oracle8i price anymore on the Oracle Store web site. If you have time and get a moment, can you see if you can find it on the web site? Reed, you're welcome to search as well.

I sent a reply back to the software vendor for him to confirm that I am being quoted a price for Oracle8i, not Oracle9i. I'll let you know what I hear. Thanks.

Many thanks.

Chris
