Ah lovely. In the 10g Licensing Guide you'll see that Change Data Capture isn't available, but message queing and apply is. Metalink Note 185049.1 will tell you that AQ is available from 9i SE, (and could sort of be used in 8i with products like Oracle Workflow). The note is, apparently, correct SQL>SELECT BANNER FROM V$VERSION; BANNER ---------------------------------------------------------------- Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production PL/SQL Release 9.2.0.3.0 - Production CORE 9.2.0.3.0 Production TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 9.2.0.3.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 9.2.0.3.0 - Production 5 rows selected. SQL>SELECT * FROM V$OPTION WHERE PARAMETER = 'Database queuing'; PARAMETER ---------------------------------------------------------------- VALUE ---------------------------------------------------------------- Database queuing TRUE Clear as mud then. Incidentally the metalink search that turned up the note (I knew it existed which was why I was brief ) also turned up a variety of different responses from Oracle Employees, not all of which are adeqauately explainable by the version the person posting the question was running.
