Alan,

 

                To err is human.

                To really louse things up take a Java Program.

Funny story/rant about a vendor who doesn't support RAC because they are
too cheap to test their product on it. It turns out they are using a
severly outdated framework that requires the use of the SID in the
JDBCURL and does not support SERVICE_NAME (I don't know why). Now for
the funny... they use that framework for half the application... so we
have RAC for half the application and the rest of the application is
just pointing to a single node...

Sorry for the OT... I just felt like ranting this morning.

Cheers!
Alan.-

Actually never heard of such precise restrictions and would like to
see where it is written?

But anyway remember that there exists such things like:
- different editions XE, PE, SE ONE, SE which might or might not be OK
for development (abstracting from story about development (and
test!!!) environment as close as possible to production)
- term licences
