Re: Standard vs Enterprise Edition

We use it for all of our small, under 10 gig, NT databases (at last count we had 13). Many of the features of Enterprise are just not needed for these systems because the user/data volume is small and we are not using replication or fine-grain access control. All of the 3rd party applications
(except SAP) on site have been coded for standard. These 3rd party vendors
don't have good DBAs on staff either, but that is a different topic. List - Is that your experience also?

Due to Oracle's licensing shenanigans, we are looking at the use of the Standard
edition to save $$$$. In fact, our management may even make Standard the de facto
standard while requiring justification for Enterprise.

If anyone is currently using Standard, or has experience with it, I would appreciate if
can you tell me what I lose by moving to Standard. I've perused the features comparision
matrix, but I'd like to see some other feedback to ensure I'm not overlooking anything.

Thanks,
