FreeLists / oracle-l / RE: Oracle Standard Edition & RAC?

[Job Miller <jobmiller@xxxxxxxxx>]

found one inaccuracy in my quick read of that comparative feature by version:
   
  there is a feature it describes as automatically maintaining global indexes 
when DDL is executed against partitioned tables.  It lists it as Y Y Y Y, but 
partitioning is only supported in 2 of the 4.. so I am not sure you can say 'Y' 
in Standard when the feature is referring to an underlying EE feature.  :)
   
  I'll report that inaccuracy.
   
  The biggest downside to SE that I see is no Diagnostics Pack (AWR) data 
available to you.
   
  so now if you throw in RAC, you have any more of a need to 
understand/diagnose the underlying wait data, but no convenient mechanism like 
AWR to collect all of that for you.

Subject: Oracle Standard Edition & RAC?



Folks,

Had a quick question for the folks out here - how many people are using,
or looking at using Standard Edition with RAC in lieu of EE? Are the
cost savings worth the annoyance of the limitations? Why is/isn't
everyone doing this? I have a customer that is asking for why they
shouldn't be using Standard Edition - I'm an old EE bigot who thought
standard edition was for integrating into software and laptops, but I've
been hearing more and more people talk about using SE w/ RAC instead of
EE for smaller environments. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt
