Well, there are differences on some high-end features, as I recall. Pesonal edition does not support full range of replicaiton option I think. If you install Enterprise and log in through SQL*PLUS, ORACLE still tells you it is Personal. That's what I seeing right now. Just want to get a confirmation from anybody who might be doing and seeing the same thing.
