found one inaccuracy in my quick read of that comparative feature by version:    

  there is a feature it describes as automatically maintaining global indexes when DDL is executed against partitioned tables. It lists it as Y Y Y Y, but partitioning is only supported in 2 of the 4.. so I am not sure you can say 'Y' in Standard when the feature is referring to an underlying EE feature. :)    

  I'll report that inaccuracy.    

  The biggest downside to SE that I see is no Diagnostics Pack (AWR) data available to you.    

  so now if you throw in RAC, you have any more of a need to understand/diagnose the underlying wait data, but no convenient mechanism like AWR to collect all of that for you.

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
