Re: How could you tell if an applicaiton will run in Standard Edition

On the other hand 2 quad core dual processor HP servers currently are quoted
at around $15k. (assuming 8g memory each). The SE license for that is an eye
watering $65k, but the EE license for the same system would be an altogether
ludicrous $468k. In fact you get the 2 dual processor quad core solution
using RAC and SE for the same list price as a *single* processor license for
EE with RAC.

Methinks that recent hardware improvements and SE licensing changes make a
pretty compelling case for SE nowadays. Unless of course you happen to have
one of those license deals (site licenses for example) that Oracle 'don't
do'.

Correct, though SE's limitations (only 4 CPUs) restrict its usefulness
somewhat.  Dual-core processors help.
