    Oracle Licensing Help

    So, let's say I have an Oracle database with 5 licensed users connecting. All 5 of those users update,delete, and select from various tables.

    Now let's say I need 10-11 more people to connect to this database, but for READ ONLY purposes. It seems to me that I can open Microsoft Access and connect to the Oracle tables using ODBC but....

    - is that because I already have an Oracle client installed on my PC? I can't remember, but you may need and Oracle client installed in order to have the ability to link to an Access table.
    - If I CAN, in fact, link tables through Access, would I still need to purchase an Oracle license for the 10-11 new users?

    I think that means that you can only have 5 workstations with Oracle Client installed. You'll have to buy more licenses if you need more concurrent users.

    The other choise is to call Oracle and Change the license to one based on the server. The cost goes up quick there but you will be allowed unlimited connections to the DB.

    Sometimes the DBA
