Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: NT Server
From the MS website, NT 4 workstation end user license agreement: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q226/7/70.ASP It appears to forbid connection pooling as a workaround.
As I stated elsewhere on this newsgroup, I think that this is a BS limit by MS to get more $ by making you buy server rather than workstation. For a long time there were few technical differences between the 2 (server came with domain utilities, etc). If you are having performance problems, I expect it is with your oracle config, not the OS.
Systems Software. You may install and use one copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer. The SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be used by more than two (2) processors at any one time on the single computer running the SOFTWARE PRODUCT. You may install the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single computer ("Workstation Computer") for use as interactive workstation software, but not as server software. However, you may permit a maximum of ten (10) computers to connect to the Workstation Computer to access and use services of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT, such as file and print services and peer web services. The ten connection maximum includes any indirect connections made through software or hardware which pools or aggregates connections.
