Thats a very vague question - its pretty easy to write a query on a (say) 100 row table that will consume all cpu for hours/days...

As a guestimate, you can safely assume that many people are running vastly larger databases than 350M (and similarly if you meant 350G) and a lot more than 30 concurrent users...

Oracle itself will be able to handle the load - of course this is dependent on the hardware you use..
