Hi Richard,

no more flames then - hopefully. (Physical kind and Usenet kind !!)

Now then, your reply to Howard implies that I *could* install Personal on a Windows box, set up a listener and connect as if it was Enterprise then - RAC not withstanding. I suspect there is a limit to home many connections can be made to Personal but I've never tried to find out what it is.

When I set up our consultants with Personal on their laptops, I create an entry in my own tnsnames.ora and when they have problems (and are connected to our network) I can remain in my ivory tower (tm) and sort them out with TOAD, Saves having to climb down and back up all those stairs !

Are there any limits to what Personal can do then - apart from RAC ?

Yours interestedly,
Norman.

Actually Personal Edition has Function-based indexes, advanced security, advanced replication, standby database, data guard, resource manager, workspace management, materialized views, partitioning, ...

In fact, the only notable difference in the options/feature set is RAC.
