Small Business Server 2003 and Oracle 10G, Licensing?

[dpman39]

Hello all,

Does anyone have any experience with MS SBS 2003 and Oracle 10G?

1. First of all .. is Oracle 10G compatible with SBS 2003?
2. If so, what type of licensing would it require?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean you plan on installing the Oracle server itself on the SBS box? You definitely don't want to do that. SBS maxes out at 4GB RAM, and Oracle would gobble that right up. Any additional enterprise DB system should be on an additional machine. Or perhaps you are just talking about client software?

This is a weird question because any organization that can afford to and has the data needs that justify a large system such as Oracle would probably not be the type of org to be running Small Business Server in the first place. They would be running separate Exchange and Windows 2003 Std servers at least.
