Quick Tip: ColdFusion and Oracle

Mark Carrozza asked the group, "[W]hat is your general take on ColdFusion and Oracle? ... Specifically, we are building an online data entry and report writing system using Cold Fusion and Oracle. There will be anywhere from 40 to 60 individuals who could sign-on and enter data or requests reports. Most (nearly all) the users will attach to the server once or twice a day, conduct their business and leave, usually within 10-15 minutes, during regular business hours. Do I need 60 Oracle Named Users, only as many as I expect at any given time (16 Concurrent users) or what is your general impression? Or am I asking the wrong questions?"

Bill Jurist, Chemical Abstracts Service, responded that "We run Oracle on UNIX and use ColdFusion 4.01 on UNIX and I was told that the way Oracle does pricing now is to charge for the number of processors and the speed of the machine, not by named or concurrent for a web server."
