It's certainly true that Oracle doesn't support it, but, with the right storage
subsystem solution in place, it can be implemented. It's the one and only case
where taking a backup of your online redo is a requirement.

Another nice feature SQLServer has and Oracle doesn't is Online Backups with
the DB in NOARCHIVELOG mode. I know that would make PiTR impossible, but
sometimes having snapshots of the DB is enough.
cheers.

It also shows how much more we pay in EE for what essentially amounts to a

But what I really like is being able to have a database working in
2000-emulation mode, another in 2005-emulation and another in native 2008, all
in the same instance and all sharing the same server. Works wonders when
consolidating apps into single servers.
Also extremely valuable for customers who want to run a supported database and
where the software vendor hasn't yet certified against a current release.
NB There was of course prep work to make sure the database wasn't using any EE
only features (but as it was a shrink wrap app I wasn't surprised when it
wasn't).
