- Not that I'm an expert in Oracle license agreements, particularly those
- with the Feds (and, I suspect that you'll probably be able to get at least
- two divergent opinions from Oracle, depending on who you ask); but, it's
- my understanding that Oracle is normally licensed by the total number of
- USERS, no matter how they connect. As far as multiple copies of
- SQL*NET are concerned, at least on Unix, the SQL*NET "interface" is linked
- into both the tools (including the PRO*<language of your choice> runtime
- libraries and the RDBMS "kernel" at INSTALL time. At runtime, you should
- only need ONE "server process" per SERVER. The tools on each client
- (including whatever code you develop in 3GLs) only need to be linked with
- the correct libraries (which you would presumably do on the one machine).
-
- As always, YMMV.
