Along these lines, this whole thing came from one of our sales people who ran
into a prospect that was currently running on an alternate database, but once
you brought together an HA solution, support, etc. - it was cheaper to run on
Oracle SE w/ RAC than the alternate solution, and they wanted the scalability
path and stability. But that got me thinking about where SE is in the market.
Thanks,
Matt

There are an awful lot of systems out there that have time to do batch

hours as well and don't do 300M worth of data transfer/redo generation in a 10
minute window of normal use, let alone per second. A rather surprising number
of these people believe they need/have been sold/want to imagine that they are
large enough to need EE and not a 'Workgroup' product. I disagree with them:)
.I'm with you.so if SE fits 200-500 users and such systems don't need
PQO-hence we label it "Workgroup", why Oracle at all? I'm not being "typically
ascerbic Kevin" here. I don't know how app development on SE compares to, say
SQL Server and what the portfolio of apps looks like with Oracle for workgroups
over other databases. Can someome tell me why Oracle at all at such a low scale?
1. backup/restore/recovery is rock solid.
2. if/when time comes to throw money at the problem in terms of bigger box,
more CPUs, EE, partitioning, etc ... no re-write of the application is
required.
3. because the CFO likes it
4. in 10g, they don't need a dba.
ok, I'll stop there.
