Hi Keith,

Something that may interest you.
I've just been doing a Standard Edition install under 9.2.0.5 on =
Windows.
I did a custom install and also found that it said Enterprise.

Logged a TAR and apparently you can't customise a standard edition =
install under 9i:

"Anyway, the problem here is that you cannot customize a standard =
edition, the standard edition is
a packager and you install custom or standard, but you cannot customize =
a 9.2 standard edtion, this is documented in bug#2211325

Hdr: 2211325 9.0.1 RDBMS 9.0.1 APPLICATION PRODID-662 PORTID-453
Abstract: CAN'T CUSTOMIZE 9.0.1 STANDARD EDITION INSTALL
status: not feaxible to fix
PROBLEM:
1. Clear description of the problem encountered:=20
In opposition to 8.0 and 8.1 it is impossible to make a custom install
of a Standard Edition. If Custom is selected, v$version shows=20
"Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.0.1.2.0 - Production"
.....
last update
Spoke to product management about this and the decision was not to have =
a customized=20
SE install. We will update the docs in 10i to reflect this =
appropriately."

The bug is at =
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_da=
tabase_id=3DBUG&p_id=3D2211325

The "workaround" is to install the standard edition (ie get starter DB =
etc) and then use the OUI to deinstall what you don't want.

I was told to talk to License Sales to find out the effect of this on =
our license - instead I'm removing Oracle totally and doing a standard =
Standard Install.

HTH,
Bruce Reardon

Not always true. Here is ours:

Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

CORE    9.2.0.3.0       Production
TNS for HPUX: Version 9.2.0.3.0 - Production

Yet, we are on Standard edition. They both use the same install CD and =
if
you select "Custom Install", Oracle shows Enterprise edition, even if =
it's
not.
