Re: Oracle8 v. Oracle8 Enterprise

Brad,

I presume your DW requirement is a marketing one, therefore producing quick counts etc ? If this is correct then you would want to utilise bitmap indexes available with the enterprise edition.

If you are expecting between 50 to 80 CONCURRENT users then I would negotiate with Oracle for a network licence. This would work out cheaper than 50x$1200.
