Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: OEM or lots of code?
Chris,
I think this is an excellent point. In fact, as I understand it, you should not use the PL/SQL interfaces into the various licensed items in 10g. Still, in 10g there were a number of new features that were not special or licensed that one could use.
I think there are a number of people who do own these packs, so some coverage is warranted... but we don't want that coverage to overshadow the standard features either. It's always a careful balancing act when determining what to cover and what not to cover and then, what depth one will cover things too.
