Dennis,

    You've hit on the three constants of life, death, taxes, and Oracle's bill. Actually I think the last causes the first.

Thanks to Rachel, Dick, Jon, and everyone for clarifying this issue. The answer falls into a disturbing pattern I'm seeing in Oracle licensing -- lots of confusion, conflicting opinions, and in the end a large invoice from Oracle.

I participated in a META Group teleconference this morning. A number of press reporters participated also, so you will probably be seeing press releases over the next few days. META offered pretty good proof that Oracle is interpreting the named licensing to be that if your data warehouse is being loaded with data from another system that has 200 users, then your data warehouse needs that many named user licenses.

yep... but it's because the database is being used, even if you don't use it for read-only.... the fact that the executables are running and the database is mounted is why you need the license.

Now, if you have a copy of all the files, and the executables on another machine, but DON'T run anything, THEN you don't need another license
