We have been using Oracle for about 18 months for pilot projects to evaluate
if it should become our major RDBMS. Technically we found no major problem
but before the orientation becomes an official one, the University
administration wants to know which universities are actually using Oracle
RDBMS other than for teaching or research.
As the vendor's list are generally not worth a look because they contain every
organisation buying a licence even if it is just for evaluation, I would
appreciate to receive a short description of the use of Oracle for
administrative purpose made by universities in the world. By description, I
mean "Human ressources", "Payroll",...
If you can, could you also indicate the approximate number of users, the size
of the machine used, the size of the database and finally the type of access
i.e. terminal or client-server.
