/boot: 100MB
swap: 2GB
/ rest (let it fill up)

Assuming it is just an internal test server. Otherwise, you perhaps would like sizing control and separate pertitions for:
/boot (see above)
swap (see above)

/usr (4GB)
/home (512M)
/var (512M)
/  (4GB)
/oracle (or /db - what you like: the rest, approx 10GB)

Problem with the lower is, once it's full, it's full. That's also the (security) advantage...
(add /chroot, etc, etc)
