RE: RMAN and Standard Edition with 9i

This pdf document:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/oracle9i/pdf/9idb_rel2_prod_fam.pdf has good information.

Starting on page 6 there is a 5 page table comparing which features are or are not available in standard and enterprise editions of 9i. A few that stand out regarding standard edition:

- block level media recovery, no
- incremental backup and recovery, no
- parallel backup and recovery, no
- online backup and recovery, yes

(Way, way off topic... if any list participants are in the Chicago area and know of a sports bar, etc. that plays satellite coverage of remote sporting events, please let me know. Feel free to e-mail directly (dlandrum_at_zalecorp.com). I'm in Chicago on business and am missing the Dallas Stars game tonight!)

Thanks!

Chip - The following is what I've always heard about RMAN and Standard vs.
Enterprise. The following is from the Oracle Backup and Recovery Manual. I
don't think Oracle makes the boundaries between Standard and Enterprise
abundantly clear.

The Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition have the same basic features,
but several advanced features are available only with the Enterprise Edition, and some of these are optional. For example, to use Recovery Manager to perform automated tablespace point-in-time recovery, you must
have the Enterprise Edition.

The Oracle9i Database Feature and Option Availability chapter in "Oracle9i Database New Features" is worth reading: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96531/ch5_edit

.htm#73594

Incremental RMAN backups need an Enteprise Edition (can check V$OPTION

setting).

lists all the Media Management vendors that support the RMAN MML.

Have Fun :)
