Its news to me. I don't talk to the vendor, or the client directly -- but doubt if I would argue against his licensing opinions even if I suspect they are misplaced. He says even sqlplus cannot be used...

???

Backups can be done by a 3rd party tool which could mean home grown or purchased I suppose -- but not rman... I'm just not going there, it is what it is.

Thanks all for participating.

Hi Tony,
RMAN is not separately licensed; I'm not sure why some folks think that (perhaps they could provide a reference). I guess I can't blame anyone for being confused about Oracle licensing, though.

Thanks,
Justin
