Doesn't "processor =3D cpu"?

Also, when installing 10g (on Linux), the Installer doesn't point out =
that Partitioning is an extra option like it does with Spatial and =
others.  Did Oracle throw in the towel?

Here's a gotcha that is not technical, per se, but could cost your
company a lot of money:

Oracle CHARGES EXTRA if partitioning is used, and it is not cheap.  The
list price is 10k per processor (not CPU, but PROCESSOR)!  This is not
covered in the manuals anywhere, and of course Oracle's manuals and tech
support personnel will quite often and quite rightly recommend it as a
valid method to address performance and data pruning issues. =20

This will only come to light the next time you have a licensing review.
We just got hit with a $500k bill which we're trying to negotiate
down...
