Jard,

"If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to license per CPU."

As we are on licensing with Oracle, I would appreciate if you could elaborate what you mean by "covering on new system".

TIA! Aleem

Antje,

Before you determine the number CPU's, you need to talk to your Oracle rep about your proposed DW and determine how they will make you license it.

If you're not already under some kind of license that covers existing users on a new system, Oracle will likely tell you that you need to license per CPU.

If that's the case, you might consider going with the fastest CPU's you can get, and limiting it to 2 CPU's. With that number of users and a fairly small DW, you would most likely be fine.

Of course, I don't know anything about your requirements, but I do know that an EE license is $40k U.S. per CPU, which can really eat into the budget for a small project.

HTH Jared

Hi,
I was asked to give some hint for the hardware for a data warheouse running
on Win 2k and holding about 20-40 GB data. Project will have about 40 small and 7-8 large tables. Users <20. Probably
long running queries.
Which hardware would you use? How many processors? Which disks? The os-system is set and cannot be Unix/Linux according to management decision.
Any tips/recommendations appreciated
Antje Sackwitz
