If one looks at the feature set that separates Standard Edition from Enterprise Edition you could pretty much say that anyone that can use SQL Server can use Oracle Standard Edition. But the additional features in the Enterprise Edition are things that cover territory where I would steer toward UNIX and Oracle and/or DB2. Which is a long way of getting to the point which is that I disagree. People that don't have an Enterprise should by the Standard Edition and save themselves some money. Daniel A.
