Helmut - SE vs.. EE is a matter of features. The aspect you must study is whether you are using any EE features. You don't want to migrate to SE only to find that some important parts of your application rely on EE features. Compared to that, getting the data moved should be a snap. Unless your database is so large you need to migrate it, you may just want to install 8.1.7 SE, then export and import your data to move it.

    As near as I can tell, Oracle only offers SE because MS SQL has a very appealing cost model (upgrades are extra). Oracle went through its product and removed features that MS doesn't have and called that SE, and priced it much lower. Therefore, I don't think Oracle is eager for you to move from EE to SE, and probably don't offer any special assistance. Dennis Williams

Hi!

Our company wants to upgrade some of our databases from 8.1.6 to 8.1.7. Right now, we are using 8.1.6 Enterprise Edition, but when we migrate to 8.1.7 we want to use Standard Edition.

What would be the procedure to migrate from 8.1.6. EE to 8.1.7 SE? Do we have to go to 8.1.7 EE first?

This is on Win2k.

Thanks,
Helmut
