АнтиподПодскажите, как у Oracle Standard Edition c масштабируемостью?
Стоит вкладывать деньги в два четырёхядерных процессора?

Беспокоит то, что при лицензировании SE - oracle не просит денег за ядра...

не стоит, стоит вкладывать в Oracle Standard ONE Edition, когда выростите из 2x процов, воткнете 4 и тогда просто заплатите разницу между SE One и SE.

products within certain product sets. For example, a customer might upgrade from
Oracle 9i Standard Edition to Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition, Oracle 9i Standard Edition
One to Oracle 9i Standard Edition or Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition, or from
applications licensed on a component basis to the Oracle E-Business Suite.
Oracle has created standard rules for license upgrades. Depending on the products
and licenses involved, the upgrade may be priced based on the difference in the
current list prices for the old and upgraded licenses, or on a net-net basis
