All,

I am doing a comparison of MS Sql Server and Oracle and I cannot find the maximum number of concurrent users that Oracle can handle. Does anyone know where I can find this information? I found it for SQL Server 2005 very quickly but I cannot find this information anywhere for Oracle. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I really doubt it whether there is such a number. If you'd have unlimited servers, I think the number of concurrent users would be unlimited as well..

Thank you for your help. It sounds like several people agree with this statement as well.

I don't think that there is any sort of licensing limit on the number of concurrent connections, but on 32-bit architectures the memory limit for a process will be the first bottleneck, since each session (db connection) will take up a bit of memory, depending on what they do. From my experience, 2GB of process memory will allow arround 300-400 concurrent sessions (again, that depends on what your sessions are doing).

On some windows servers you can increase the limit from 2 GB to 3 GB per process, and give oracle a bit more breathing space.
