Unless you take licences for a limited users of users (and this is not allowed for databases accessible from the internet), Enterprise edition of oracle is not by cpu, but by set of cores. So a single quad-core cpu is 2 licences, 4 quad-core cpu's is 8 licences. 2. SQL server service packs are free. To get Oracle patches, you have to pay 20% of the total price every year, including first year (and this also gives right to new versions and support). 3. SQL server include diagnostics and tuning packs, ... In oracle these are (not cheap) extra options (you pay to buy and you pay every year for support, for each option). Furthermore, options cannot be bought on a standard edition, you have to buy enterprise edition. http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=sqlserver2008r2_oracle11gr2_postgis15_compare#comment_430 2012-01-13 Alain (mailto:nospam) we http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=loading_osm_postgis#comment_429 2012-01-12 Thank you very much for this post ! http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=sql2008_tut01#comment_428 2011-12-26 Sanyusha (mailto:nospam) No comment http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=sqlserver2008r2_oracle11gr2_postgis15_compare#comment_427 2011-12-23 Etienne (mailto:nospam) I need winform vb.net http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=postgis_sharpmap_tut02#comment_422 2011-12-08 Fernando (mailto:nospam) SQL Server licensing model have more posibilities than licensing per CPU where CPU means socket even with multicore chips counts per socket. Also you have the option Server + CAL that means you pay per server that allocates SQL Server instance and also pay per client that access that instance. http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=sqlserver2008r2_oracle11gr2_postgis15_compare#comment_421 2011-12-08 Fernando (mailto:nospam) Dear all, Many thanks for this tutorial, it is of help ! I followed it with my own Titles but had a bounds problem (Openlayers asks for tiles out of range) and then I discover that the bounds you use in Openlayers (new OpenLayers.Bounds(-8182919, 5035362.5,-7784059.5, 5304535)) are not those on which you generate the tites (BOX(-8182888.93659964 5011826.70961612,-7776652.83391808 5265667.90278576)) Is there a reason for this ?

My browser didn't return anything. This was a real shame as the website does look like just what I need http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=sql2008_tut01#comment_405 2011-11-15 Jude Agbro (mailto:nospam) Hi, thanks for this tutorial about OpenStreetMap it is very useful. I'm lost in the step for obtain the extern values. I'm using the spain.osm download from the same website of massachusetts.osm.bz2 file. I don't know where to find something similar to obtain the value for Spain country. I try to follow keeping the extern value by default, and when I try to run the generate_image.py I always get on the screen: proj_init_error: failed to initialize projection with +init=epgs:4326. I'm not sure if this error can be fixed setting the right value of extern or is another issue. Could you clarify me about these issues? Thanks in advance, Manolo http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=generating_osm_tiles#comment_401 2011-10-26 Manolo (mailto:nospam) this is probably the most biaised assessment I have ever read on the comparison between open source vs. commercial. This is not objective, just "open source fanatics " http://www.bostongis.com/PrinterFriendly.aspx?content_name=opensource_commercial#comment_400 2011-10-26 Dirk (mailto:nospam)
