RE: Oracle Standard Edition & RAC?

We're using it. If you don't need any EE options and don't expect to need more than 4 processors of horsepower, it can save a lot of money.

Subject: Oracle Standard Edition & RAC?

Folks,

Had a quick question for the folks out here - how many people are using, or looking at using Standard Edition with RAC in lieu of EE? Are the cost savings worth the annoyance of the limitations? Why is/isn't everyone doing this? I have a customer that is asking for why they shouldn't be using Standard Edition - I'm an old EE bigot who thought standard edition was for integrating into software and laptops, but I've been hearing more and more people talk about using SE w/ RAC instead of EE for smaller environments. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Matt
