It's an interesting read, but given the cost, complexity, and
capabilities of Oracle I don't think I would choose it as an imbedded
database engine.  Especially when there are other candidates that are
built more to the point.

Subject: Oracle Database in Embedded Environments

 

It's my first post on oracle-l even if I follow you since two years by
RSS :) and I'd like to say hello to all of you.

I'm gathering informations about Oracle database embedded solutions and
I started reading this link
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/embedded/whatsnew/index.html

I know that to sell Oracle database in embedded environments you have to
be an Oracle partner and certified to be able to deploy your application
with it. 
The problem is: our account manager "heard" that an embedded oracle
database is provided to the customer as is (into the appliance) and it's
not possible to manage it by a dba because for example sqlplus is even
not installed.

Then I read also this pdf
http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/11g-embedded-whitepaper-166560.pdf

In my opinion it consists just in a silent but "complete" installation
where if you are able to conveniently configure and use the database
into the appliance no administrative in-house intervention is
required... otherwise the seller (my company in this case) have to solve
the problem with their own dba.

What is your experience about it ? 

Regards,
Marco
