To get a more detailed answer, contact your respective Oracle representative. They can be a little pushy, but they'll tell you what you need.

Someone borrowed my Introduction to SQL for Oracle Certification book and haven't returned it, but if memory serves me, I believe Oracle now has two licensing methodologies:

Per User: You have to license each and every user that will access your application. This is not suitable for a web specific application.

Per Processor: You have to license each processor that is in the physical machine. You cannot tell Oracle to use just one processor.

I've been told that Standard Edition 1 ($4995 US) is suitable for most applications.

Speak with your Oracle representative and he/she will guide through the decision of which Oracle application to purchase.
