Hi all Thought you might be interested to know that Oracle has announced that the price of Oracle 10g Standard Edition One has been reduced by US$1000 to US$4999. The restriction to limit it to a single CPU box has been lifted to allow it to now run on 2 CPU servers. Rumour has it that RAC will now be included in the Standard Editions and possibly as a base product, not as an option. i.e. free Let wait and see if they reduce the price per CPU for Enterprise Edi. PS - You might be want to down load a copy of 10g (HP-UX only at the moment) from OTN http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html ta tony ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
