Ted and others-
Our Oracle license includes
240 concurrent users for SQL*Plus and
10 concurrent users for Pro*C
They are separate products but when we were talking to Oracle about their
products they told us we would be needing these.
Where the copies of the software reside is not an issue. How many people
are using them at a time is. Oracle is not asking us for an exact count.
They are asking us to be reasonable. So if, or when, you think this
number is too small, please let me know.
PL/SQL is the other product that I get asked about. That is bundled
with the base product for the database.
