Sorry, should have qualified that this is Cdn$ ... The actuals (from Oraclestore) are $521 vs $52,132 - processor based (or 25x$1,043 by user) ,.. and since I need Spatial (which is the reason for EE), add $13,033 (or 25x$261)

Or in US$: $400 vs ($40,000+10,000) or (25x(800+200))

No, Locator won't do!

(The above, as well as license info, freely available to all just by looking at http://oraclestore.oracle.com)

Doesn't matter whether I use US$ or Cdn$, processor or user-based, these numbers explain why (esp. for a 1 man shop) I prefer PE.

Which might explain why I want it back for Linux!

And yes. SE1 (minimum=5xUS$149/user or US$4995/CPU) is great when it fits!
