    today we had a session with an Oracle support person to discuss
    an implementation done by Digital for a customer;
    
    he told us that 8 MB for VAX3100 would be enough for 6-8 Oracle
    users ; the appplication is kind of a course enrolment including
    room reservations; 
    there will be all users heavily updating the db at special day/hours;
    the application will be developped using SQL*forms, SQL*MENU,
    SQL*ReportWriter and SQL*plus;
    
    
    8 MB doesn't seem to be too much ?
    
    Any experiences? Any Hints?
    
    We still might have a chance to convince the customer to choose Rdb/VMS
    as they aren't aware yet about the prices.
    So any information on MB really necessary is appreciated!

|     The number I have heard is 1-1.5 MB per user. But if they want good
    performance, they'll need more than that to create a memory cache that
    V6 can use to reduce I/O. I think they quoted you a minimal system.
