RE: Features of Oracle 8i Standard Versus Enterprise

Stephen - I think your list is correct. Yes, I have heard that TSPITR is not included. I think that if you looked back to the old Oracle 7 TSPITR methods you could probably succeed, just would be more difficult. And of course you can do a full database point in time recovery in SE.

   Also, additional-pay features like partitioning require EE. The performance packs for OEM require EE, and maybe OEM itself requires EE, but someone else on the list can clarify that.

   The criteria I heard was that Oracle wanted to keep the same features for programs so that any program written for EE would still run on SE. Of course I assume that features that MS SQL doesn't have were prime candidates for EE, but maybe that is just my cynical nature.

Hi everyone:

  Need some help validating features in Standard versus Enterprise.

Here is the List:

1.	Online Index Build 
2.	Plan Stability
3.	Materialized 
4.	Bitmap Indexes
5.	Point-in-time tablespace recovery 
6.	Oracle Diagnostics Pack/Tuning Pack
7.	Oracle Connection Manager

>From the Oracle8i Family document, these are listed as E/E options. I would
have thought that PIT Tablespace recovery was a standard option. Please reply soon as some contracts depend on the answer.

Thank You
