When we bought our Oracle licenses, they specifically stated that
"one license per cpu, no matter how they are grouped", which we had
to consider very carefully, because of the humungous pricetag on
the db. We finally settled on a one-cpu-machine, as the load on the
db isn't *that* high. We use oracle as the engine for MDL
ISIS/Base, a chemical logging/inventory application, which we must
have according to swedish law.
