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.
