So what happens in the case where someone is running standard edition?

Do they even have the ability to navigate thru the GUI to the "Management Pack Access" and remove and apply access even though standard edition people cannot purchase those options packs?

Part of what you have included seems to me at least to be more marketing boilerplate than helpful technical information. For instance "Oracle Database Standard Edition One delivers unprecedented ease of use, power, and performance for workgroup, department-level, and Web applications. From single-server environments for small business to highly distributed branch environments, Oracle Database Standard Edition One includes all the facilities necessary to build business-critical applications."

Ok well how about the "ease of use"? How does one get that ease of use if oracle does not supply ways to access critical oracle system information?

It includes "all the facilities to build business-critical applications?" ... as long as you don't need to monitor or make changes to them once they are operational?

I was under the impression that what you were going to research with your customers was if oracle had made some bad design ( or pricing ) decisions in terms of the types of monitoring 10g does, the access and control of that monitoring thru the GUI, etc.

Or are there other things you are working on that are not included in this document? Received on Thu Oct 05 2006 - 06:10:52 CDT
