This tables shows the disk space and memory requirements for the RDBMS clients on an XP client machine.

D = Disk (MB); M = Memory (MB); N = Notes
Component	D	M	N
Oracle 10g R1 instance (oracle.exe, tnslsnr.exe, emagent.exe.exe, ocssd.exe)	932	259	1
Oracle 10g R1 Instant Client	94	19	1
SQL Server 2000	34		2
SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (sqlserver.exe, msmdsrv.exe, msftesql.exe.exe)	263	71	3

Note

The disk size does not include the database directory. The memory size is an approximate sum of the memory sizes for an Oracle instance running as a service. The memory footprint is configurable. The processes are oracle.exe, tnslsnr.exe, and emagent.exe. The Oracle instance includes both client and server components. The Oracle provider uses the Oracle client to connect to a local or remote Oracle database. When the FDO application connects to Oracle, it loads the Oracle dynamically linked libraries (DLLs)
This represents the install of the client tools on an XP machine. There are no services running. The disk size for SQL Server 2000 is that of C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80.
The two major components installed are database and analysis services. The database engine service is sqlserver.exe. The analysis service is msmdsrv.exe. The full-text search service is msftesql.exe. The disk size is that of C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90, C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2, and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.3.
