I am in the process of setting up a parallel database with 2 systems. Talking to Oracle they said we had to pay per CPU for each machine, which was expected.
Then for each user they said we had pay for each user on each machine. So if we where expecting a total of 100 users we had to pay for 200 users. Or if you had a three system in parallel you would have to pay as if you had 300 users.

It has been a while since I have had to deal with the purchasing of Oracle database servers, but this struck me as totally ridiculous since we are already paying extra for the parallel capability and not adding additional users.

This is pricing true and was it part of the recent price restructuring?

Thanks
