["Freeman, Donald" <dofreeman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is what Oracle is advertising.  I can't imagine that you would need 
anything more than standard but maybe there is some critical question I don't 
know to ask. Enterprise Edition starts at $40000.  You can look up any other 
pricing information you need at: http://oraclestore.oracle.com/.   Are you 
developing your own application?  Migrating to Oracle?

Subject: standard edition vs enterprise edition


Hi All,
 
We are planning to buy oracle edition to run on a Solaris box ( dual CPU). 
( Its going to be OLTP and the no. of concurrent users will be 10.)
 
Solaris box configuration:
 
Sun Fire V240
2x1 GHz Ultraspace IIIi
4x512 MB DIMMS
2x36 GB drives
4x10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
 
Could somebody suggest the above configuration is fine for 10 concurrent users. 
and what oracle edition we can purchase for the above requirement.
 
Standard editition and Enterprise edition ? (what are the differences between 
these 2 and the price info if you have in US$ )
 
Thanks in advance,
Srinivas
