Mark, are you sure it's permitted to license SE-1 on a 12-core server?  I 
thought SE1 could only be licensed on a max of 2 cores according to this:

http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/databaselicensing.pdf


From p.2:

"Oracle Standard Edition One may only be licensed on servers that have a 
maximum capacity of 2 sockets. "

From p.3:
"When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One or Standard Edition 
in the product name, a processor is counted equivalent to a socket"

Maybe I'm misinterpreting it?

Thanks,
Brandon

Yeah, $10K to license Oracle SE-1 on a 12-core database server

(And you can build a pretty darned powerful database server on SE-1 these days!)
