Re: Oracle8 std edition vs oracle8 EE edition

I'm assuming you're at 8.0.x. What you're describing is a maintenance operation. EE gives you bitmapped indexes, parallel query and mutlit threaded server. If your users are happy, it's hard to justify a 2x's increase in your maintenance.

In my operation EE is the only flavor support by my applications' vendor. I'm probably going to 8i later in the year. I see no rush to do so now. 8.0.6 does everything I need it to do.
